2012-12-26mergetools/p4merge: Honor $TMPDIR for the /dev/null placeholderLibravatar David Aguilar1-14/+13
Use $TMPDIR when creating the /dev/null placeholder for p4merge. This prevents users from finding a seemingly random untracked file in their worktree. This is different than what mergetool does with $LOCAL and $REMOTE because those files exist to aid users when resolving merges. p4merge's /dev/null placeholder is not helpful in that situation so it is sensible to keep it out of the worktree.

p4merge does not properly handle the case where "/dev/null" is passed as a filename. Work it around by creating a temporary file for this purpose.

2012-10-01Merge branch 'da/mergetool-custom'Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-26/+2
The actual external command to run for mergetool backend can be specified with difftool/mergetool.$name.cmd configuration variables, but this mechanism was ignored for the backends we natively support. * da/mergetool-custom: mergetool--lib: Allow custom commands to override built-ins
2012-09-25mergetool--lib: Allow custom commands to override built-insLibravatar David Aguilar1-26/+2
Allow users to override the default commands provided by the mergetools/* scriptlets. Users occasionally run into problems where they expect to be able to override the built-in tool names. The documentation does not explicitly mention that built-ins cannot be overridden, so it's easy to assume that it should work. Lift this restriction so that built-in tools are handled the same way as user-configured tools. Add tests to guarantee this behavior. A nice benefit of this change is that it protects users from having future versions of git trump their custom configuration with a new built-in tool.

2012-08-10Add Code Compare v2.80.4 as a merge / diff tool for WindowsLibravatar Sebastian Schuberth1-0/+25
Code Compare is a commercial file comparison tool for Windows, see http://www.devart.com/codecompare/ Version 2.80.4 added support for command line arguments preceded by a dash instead of a slash. This is required for Git for Windows because slashes in command line arguments get mangled with according to these rules: http://www.mingw.org/wiki/Posix_path_conversion Signed-off-by: Sebastian Schuberth <sschuberth@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2012-03-05mergetools: add a plug-in to support DeltaWalkerLibravatar Tim Henigan1-0/+21
DeltaWalker is a non-free tool popular among some users. Add a plug-in to support it from difftool and mergetool. Note that the $(pwd)/ in front of $MERGED should not be necessary. However without it, DeltaWalker crashes with a JRE exception.

* jn/ancient-meld-support: mergetools/meld: Use --help output to detect --output support
2012-02-10mergetools/meld: Use --help output to detect --output supportLibravatar Jonathan Nieder1-1/+1
In v1.7.7-rc0~3^2 (2011-08-19), git mergetool's "meld" support learned to use the --output option when calling versions of meld that are detected to support it (1.5.0 and newer, hopefully). Alas, it misdetects old versions (before 1.1.5, 2006-06-11) of meld as supporting the option, so on systems with such meld, instead of getting a nice merge helper, the operator gets a dialog box with the text "Wrong number of arguments (Got 5)". (Version 1.1.5 is when meld switched to using optparse. One consequence of that change was that errors in usage are detected and signalled through the exit status even when --help was passed.) Luckily there is a simpler check that is more reliable: the usage string printed by "meld --help" reliably reflects whether --output is supported in a given version. Use it.

2011-10-15mergetools: use the correct tool for Beyond Compare 3 on WindowsLibravatar Pat Thoyts1-1/+6
On Windows the bcompare tool launches a graphical program and does not wait for it to terminate. A separate 'bcomp' tool is provided which will wait for the view to exit so we use this instead.

2011-08-19mergetool--lib: Refactor tools into separate filesLibravatar David Aguilar15-0/+306
Individual merge tools are now defined in a mergetools/$tool file which is sourced at runtime. The individual files are installed into $(git --exec-path)/mergetools/. New tools can be added by creating a new file instead of editing the git-mergetool--lib.sh scriptlet. http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/134906/focus=135006 Signed-off-by: David Aguilar <davvid@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
