Subject: [PATCH] mergetool-lib: refactor run_mergetool and check_unchanged
Message-ID: <1238724603-59551-1-git-send-email-davvid@gmail.com>
URL: https://gitlist.dev/e/1238724603-59551-1-git-send-email-davvid%40gmail.com

```
This moves run_mergetool and check_unchanged into mergetool--lib.
git-mergetool no longer uses the global $status variable and instead
checks the return value of run_mergetool.
