d3b8cec difftool: move 'git-difftool' out of contrib
d3db8cec is currently sitting in 'next' and is where the "oops, I should have used double-dash" lack of foresight began.
I like the *result* of what's currently sitting in da/difftool, so rewriting history is easy now that we know exactly where we're going.
I think we have a couple of options here. I won't be able to get to it until sometime tonight, but I'll throw my plan out here to get a feel for what's the better way to do it. I think we have a couple of options. I'm open to any of these:
1. Base it on the current master, completely throwing away
the existing da/difftool branch. That would include throwing
away the commit that's in next if we really want to be clean
about the history. In the process, move Markus' mergetool
fixes for windows to the top so that they can be applied
independently if necessary. This series would then depend
on them.
This would probably mean a merge conflict with next at some point.
2. Base the series on next, keeping the 'move out of contrib'
patch intact. That'll minimize conflicts but will have an
extra commit that renames difftool-helper. I can still push
the fixes-for-windows patches up to the top so that it makes
it easier on msysgit since we already have those two patches
in the msysgit 'tortoisemerge' branch.
3. Any others?
Regardless of which it's based on, it's obvious that there'll be some squashing going on. Tentatively,
Will be squashed: 588954e difftool: use valid_tool from git-mergetool-lib 8af4556 mergetool: use valid_tool from git-mergetool-lib
Will be squashed: 72286b5 difftool: use get_mergetool_path from git-mergetool-lib d03b97f mergetool: use get_mergetool_path from git-mergetool-lib c6afc72 Add a mergetool-lib scriptlet for holding common merge tool functions
Will be squashed: 99511d8 mergetool: use run_mergetool from git-mergetool-lib 37c48c7 difftool: use run_mergetool from git-mergetool-lib 4e314b5 mergetool-lib: introduce run_mergetool
Will be squashed: def88c8 mergetool-lib: specialize opendiff options when in diff mode 73c59d9 mergetool-lib: specialize xxdiff options when in diff mode 273e7a2 mergetool-lib: specialize kdiff3 options when in diff mode
I'll go with whatever you guys think makes the series easiest to manage.
I think my preference would be to resend the entires series based on 'master', but I don't want to make it any harder to manage 'next'.
Thoughts?
