Message-ID
<pull.1827.git.1731459128.gitgitgadget@gmail.com>

These are a few improvements to improve existing error messages in 'git mergetool', and make sure that errors are not quiet, along with a small completion update in 1/1.

Philippe Blain (5):
  completion: complete '--tool-help' in 'git mergetool'
  git-mergetool--lib.sh: use TOOL_MODE when erroring about unknown tool
  git-mergetool--lib.sh: add error message in 'setup_user_tool'
  git-mergetool--lib.sh: add error message for unknown tool variant
  git-difftool--helper.sh: exit upon initialize_merge_tool errors
