Add a per-tool override flag so that users may enable the flag for one
tool and disable it for another by setting
`mergetool.<tool>.hideResolved` to `false`.
In addition, the author or maintainer of a mergetool may optionally
override the default `hideResolved` value for that mergetool. If the
`mergetools/<tool>` shell script contains a `hide_resolved_enabled`
function it will be called when the mergetool is invoked and the return
value will be used as the default for the `hideResolved` flag.
hide_resolved_enabled () {
return 1
}
Disabling may be desirable if the mergetool wants or needs access to the
original, unmodified 'LOCAL' and 'REMOTE' versions of the conflicted
file. For example:
- A tool may use a custom conflict resolution algorithm and prefer to
ignore the results of Git's conflict resolution.
- A tool may want to visually compare/constrast the version of the file
from before the merge (saved to 'LOCAL', 'REMOTE', and 'BASE') with
Git's conflict resolution results (saved to 'MERGED').

This is preparation for the following commit where we need to source the
mergetool shell script to look for overrides before `run_merge_tool` is
called. Previously `run_merge_tool` both sourced that script and invoked
the mergetool.
In the case of the following commit, we need the result of the
`hide_resolved` override, if present, before we actually run
`run_merge_tool`.
The new `initialize_merge_tool` wrapper is exposed and documented as
a public interface for consistency with the existing `run_merge_tool`
which is also public. Although `setup_tool` could instead be exposed
directly, the related `setup_user_tool` would probably also want to be
elevated to match and this felt the cleanest to me.

The purpose of a mergetool is to help the user resolve any conflicts
that Git cannot automatically resolve. If there is a conflict that must
be resolved manually Git will write a file named MERGED which contains
everything Git was able to resolve by itself and also everything that it
was not able to resolve wrapped in conflict markers.
One way to think of MERGED is as a two- or three-way diff. If each
"side" of the conflict markers is separately extracted an external tool
can represent those conflicts as a side-by-side diff.
However many mergetools instead diff LOCAL and REMOTE both of which
contain versions of the file from before the merge. Since the conflicts
Git resolved automatically are not present it forces the user to
manually re-resolve those conflicts. Some mergetools also show MERGED
but often only for reference and not as the focal point to resolve the
conflicts.
This adds a `mergetool.hideResolved` flag that will overwrite LOCAL and
REMOTE with each corresponding "side" of a conflicted file and thus hide
all conflicts that Git was able to resolve itself. Overwriting these
files will immediately benefit any mergetool that uses them without
requiring any changes to the tool.
No adverse effects were noted in a small survey of popular mergetools[1]
so this behavior defaults to `true`. However it can be globally disabled
by setting `mergetool.hideResolved` to `false`.

git-mergetool spawns an enormous amount of processes. For this reason,
the test script, t7610, is exceptionally slow, in particular, on
Windows. Most of the processes are invocations of git. There are
also some that can be replaced with shell builtins. Avoid repeated
calls of `git ls-files` and `awk`.

In git-mergetool, the logic for getting which merge tool to use is
duplicated in git-mergetool--lib, except for the fact that it needs to
know whether the tool was guessed or not.
Rewrite `get_merge_tool` to return whether or not the tool was guessed
through the return code and make git-mergetool call this function
instead of duplicating the logic. Note that 1 was chosen to be the
return code of when a tool is guessed because it seems like a slightly
more abnormal condition than getting a tool that's explicitly specified
but this is completely arbitrary.
Also, let `$GIT_MERGETOOL_GUI` be set to determine whether or not the
guitool will be selected.
This change is not completely backwards compatible as there may be
external users of git-mergetool--lib. However, only one user,
git-diffall[1], was found from searching GitHub and Google, and this
tool is superseded by `git difftool --dir-diff` anyway. It seems very
unlikely that there exists an external caller that would take into
account the return code of `get_merge_tool` as it would always return 0
before this change so this change probably does not affect any external
users.

"git mergetool" (without any pathspec on the command line) that is
not run from the top-level of the working tree no longer works in
Git v2.11, failing to get the list of unmerged paths from the output
of "git rerere remaining". This regression was introduced by
57937f70a0 ("mergetool: honor diff.orderFile", 2016-10-07).
This is because the pathnames output by the 'git rerere remaining'
command are relative to the top-level directory but the 'git diff
--name-only' command expects its pathname arguments to be relative
to the current working directory. To make everything consistent,
cd_to_toplevel before running 'git diff --name-only' and adjust any
relative pathnames.

Make it easier to follow the program's flow by isolating all
logic into functions. Isolate the main execution code path into
a single unit instead of having prompt_after_failed_merge()
interrupt it partyway through.
The use of a main() function is borrowing a convention from C,
Python, Perl, and many other languages. This helps readers more
familiar with other languages understand the purpose of each
function when diving into the codebase with fresh eyes.

This script is one of the sizeable ones that tempted people to copy
its "neibouring style" in their new code, but was littered with
styles incompatible with our style guide.
- use one tab, not four spaces, per indent level;
- long lines can be wrapped after '|', '&&', or '||' for
readability.
- structures like "if .. then .. else .. fi", "while .. do .. done"
are split into lines in such a way that does not require
unnecessary semicolon.

Mergetool now treats its path arguments as a pathspec (like other git
subcommands), restricting action to the given files and directories.
Files matching the pathspec are filtered so mergetool only acts on
unmerged paths; previously it would assume each path argument was in an
unresolved state, and get confused when it couldn't check out their
other stages.
Running "git mergetool subdir" will prompt to resolve all conflicted

When the index has conflicted submodules, mergetool used to mildly
clobber the module, renaming it to mymodule.BACKUP.nnnn, then failing to
copy it non-recursively.
Recognize submodules and offer a resolution instead:
Submodule merge conflict for 'Shared':
{local}: submodule commit ad9f12e3e6205381bf2163a793d1e596a9e211d0
{remote}: submodule commit f5893fb70ec5646efcd9aa643c5136753ac89253
Use (l)ocal or (r)emote, or (a)bort?
Selecting a commit will stage it, but not update the submodule (as git
does had there been no conflict). Type changes are also supported,
should the path be a submodule on one side, and a file, symlink,
directory, or deleted on the other.

Since bb0a484 (mergetool: Skip autoresolved paths, 2010-08-17),
mergetool uses different ways of figuring out the list of files with
merge conflicts depending on whether rerere is active. If rerere is
active, mergetool will use 'git rerere status' to list the files with
remaining conflicts. However, the output from that command does not
list conflicts of types that rerere does not handle, such as
modify/remove conflicts.
Another problem with solely relying on the output from 'git rerere
status' is that, for new conflicts that are not yet known to rerere,
the output from the command will list the files even after adding them
to the index. This means that if the conflicts in some files have been
resolved and 'git mergetool' is run again, it will ask the user
something like the following for each of those files.
file1: file does not need merging
Continue merging other unresolved paths (y/n) ?
Solve both of these problems by replacing the call to 'git rerere
status' with a call to the new 'git rerere remaining' that was
introduced in the previous commit.

When mergetool is run without path limiters it loops
over each entry in 'git ls-files -u'. This includes
autoresolved paths.
Teach mergetool to only merge files listed in 'rerere status'
when rerere is enabled.
There are some subtle but harmless changes in behavior.
We now call cd_to_toplevel when no paths are given.
We do this because 'rerere status' paths are always relative
to the root. This is beneficial for the non-rerere use as
well in that mergetool now runs against all unmerged files
regardless of the current directory.
This also slightly tweaks the output when run without paths
to be more readable.
The old output:
Merging the files: foo
bar
baz
The new output:
Merging:
foo
bar

The mergetool--lib scriplet was tricky to use because it relied upon
the existance of several global shell variables. This removes more
global variables so that things are simpler for callers.
A side effect is that some variables are recomputed each time
