2010-01-15difftool: Add '-x' and as an alias for '--extcmd'Libravatar David Aguilar1-7/+14
This adds '-x' as a shorthand for the '--extcmd' option. Arguments to '--extcmd' can be specified separately, which was not originally possible. This also fixes the brief help text so that it mentions both '-x' and '--extcmd'. Signed-off-by: David Aguilar <davvid@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2010-01-09difftool: Allow specifying unconfigured commands with --extcmdLibravatar David Aguilar1-0/+4
git-difftool requires difftool.<tool>.cmd configuration even when tools use the standard "$diffcmd $from $to" form. This teaches git-difftool to run these tools in lieu of configuration by allowing the command to be specified on the command line.

2010-01-03git-difftool: Add '--gui' for selecting a GUI toolLibravatar David Aguilar1-1/+12
Users might prefer to have git-difftool use a different tool when run from a Git GUI. This teaches git-difftool to honor 'diff.guitool' when the '--gui' option is specified. This allows users to configure their preferred command-line diff tool in 'diff.tool' and a GUI diff tool in 'diff.guitool'.

2009-04-24Explain seemingly pointless use of system in difftoolLibravatar Alex Riesen1-0/+6

2009-04-22Wait for git diff to finish in git difftoolLibravatar Alex Riesen1-1/+2
In ActivetState Perl, exec does not wait for the started program. This breaks difftool tests and may cause unexpected behaviour: git difftool has returned, but the rest of code (diff and possibly the interactive program are still running in the background.

2009-04-07difftool: add support for a difftool.prompt config variableLibravatar David Aguilar1-3/+12
difftool now supports difftool.prompt so that users do not have to pass --no-prompt or hit enter each time a diff tool is launched. The --prompt flag overrides the configuration variable. Signed-off-by: David Aguilar <davvid@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2009-04-07difftool: move 'git-difftool' out of contribLibravatar David Aguilar1-0/+76
This prepares 'git-difftool' and its documentation for mainstream use. 'git-difftool-helper' became 'git-difftool--helper' since users should not use it directly. 'git-difftool' was added to the list of commands as an ancillaryinterrogator. Signed-off-by: David Aguilar <davvid@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
