Subject: [PATCH 2/2] Make difftool.prompt fall back to mergetool.prompt
Message-ID: <4B5721B2.5050703@gmail.com>

```
The documentation states that "git-difftool falls back to git-mergetool
config variables when the difftool equivalents have not been defined".
Until now, this was not the case for "difftool.prompt".
