* difftool: always honor fatal error exit codesJohn Keeping2016-08-15
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | At the moment difftool's "trust exit code" logic always suppresses the exit status of the diff utility we invoke. This is useful because we don't want to exit just because diff returned "1" because the files differ, but it's confusing if the shell returns an error because the selected diff utility is not found. POSIX specifies 127 as the exit status for "command not found", 126 for "command found but is not executable" and values greater than 128 if the command terminated because it received a signal [1] and at least bash and dash follow this specification, while diff utilities generally use "1" for the exit status we want to ignore. Handle any value of 126 or greater as a special value indicating that some form of fatal error occurred.

* difftool/mergetool: make the form of yes/no questions consistentNikola Forró2016-04-25
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | Every yes/no question in difftool/mergetool scripts has slightly different form, and none of them is consistent with the form git itself uses. Make the form of all the questions consistent with the form used by git.

* difftool--helper: add explicit exit statementDavid Aguilar2014-11-21
| | | | | | | | | git-difftool--helper returns a zero exit status unless --trust-exit-code is in effect. Add an explicit exit statement to make this clearer. Signed-off-by: David Aguilar <davvid@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
* difftool: add support for --trust-exit-codeDavid Aguilar2014-10-28
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | Teach difftool to exit when a diff tool returns a non-zero exit code when either --trust-exit-code is specified or difftool.trustExitCode is true. Forward exit codes from invoked diff tools to the caller when --trust-exit-code is used.

* difftool--helper: exit when reading a prompt answer failsJohannes Sixt2014-10-27
| | | | | | | | | | An attempt to quit difftool by hitting Ctrl-D (EOF) at its prompt does not quit it, but is treated as if 'yes' was answered to the prompt and all following prompts, which is contrary to the user's intent. Fix the error check. Signed-off-by: Johannes Sixt <j6t@kdbg.org> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
* difftool: display the number of files in the diff queue in the promptZoltan Klinger2013-12-06
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When --prompt option is set, git-difftool displays a prompt for each modified file to be viewed in an external diff program. At that point, it could be useful to display a counter and the total number of files in the diff queue. Below is the current difftool prompt for the first of 5 modified files: Viewing: 'diff.c' Launch 'vimdiff' [Y/n]: Consider the modified prompt: Viewing (1/5): 'diff.c' Launch 'vimdiff' [Y/n]: The current GIT_EXTERNAL_DIFF mechanism does not tell the number of paths in the diff queue nor the current counter. To make this "counter/total" info available for GIT_EXTERNAL_DIFF programs without breaking existing ones by doing the following: - Keep track of the number of paths shown so far in diff_options; - Export two new environment variables from run_external_diff() to show the total number of paths (from diff_queue_struct) and the current value of the counter (from diff_options); and - Update git-difftool--helper to use these two environment variables.

* difftool: teach difftool to handle directory diffsTim Henigan2012-04-23
| | | | | | | | | | | | | When 'difftool' is called to compare a range of commits that modify more than one file, it opens a separate instance of the diff tool for each file that changed. The new '--dir-diff' option copies all the modified files to a temporary location and runs a directory diff on them in a single instance of the diff tool.

* git-difftool: allow skipping file by typing 'n' at promptSitaram Chamarty2011-10-10
| | | | | | | | | | | This is useful if you forgot to restrict the diff to the paths you want to see, or selecting precisely the ones you want is too much typing.

* difftool: provide basename to external toolsMichael J Gruber2010-12-16
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently, only configured diff helpers get the basename of the file being compared. Tools specified with "git difftool -x" only get the names of temporary files for the different versions. Export BASE so that an external tool can read the name from the environment. Rather than using a third argument, this avoids breaking existing scripts which may somewhat carelessly be using "$@" rather than "$1" "$2".

* Make difftool.prompt fall back to mergetool.promptSebastian Schuberth2010-01-22

* difftool: Allow specifying unconfigured commands with --extcmdDavid Aguilar2010-01-09
| | | | | | | | | | | 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.

* difftool--helper: Remove use of the GIT_MERGE_TOOL variableDavid Aguilar2010-01-09
| | | | | | | | | | | | | An undocumented mis-feature in git-difftool is that it allows you to specify a default difftool by setting GIT_MERGE_TOOL. This behavior was never documented and was included as an oversight back when git-difftool was maintained outside of git. git-mergetool never honored GIT_MERGE_TOOL so neither should git-difftool.

* mergetool--lib: simplify API usage by removing more global variablesDavid Aguilar2009-04-12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | 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 run_merge_tool() is called, but the overhead for recomputing them is justified by the simpler implementation.
