2009-03-11contrib/difftool: use a separate config namespace for difftool commandsLibravatar David Aguilar1-15/+15
Some users have different mergetool and difftool settings, so teach difftool to read config vars from the difftool.* namespace. This allows having distinct configurations for the diff and merge scenarios. We don't want to force existing users to set new values for no reason so difftool falls back to existing mergetool config variables when the difftool equivalents are not defined.

2009-01-18difftool: fix documentation problemsLibravatar David Aguilar1-10/+10
This patch makes the difftool docs always refer to the git-difftool script using the dashed form of the name. Only command examples use the non-dashed form now. Signed-off-by: David Aguilar <davvid@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2009-01-17contrib: add 'git difftool' for launching common merge toolsLibravatar David Aguilar1-0/+104
'git difftool' is a git command that allows you to compare and edit files between revisions using common merge tools. 'git difftool' does what 'git mergetool' does but its use is for non-merge situations such as when preparing commits or comparing changes against the index. It uses the same configuration variables as 'git mergetool' and provides the same command-line interface as 'git diff'.
