I would prefer to rip most of them out from this list in the
documentation, and refer people to ask the installed version of "git
difftool" to list them. After bc7a96a (mergetool--lib: Refactor tools
into separate files, 2011-08-18), that should be the most sensible option.
I.e.
--tool=<tool>::
Use the diff tool specified by <tool>. Valid diff tools
include emerge, kompare, meld, and vimdiff; for complete
list, run 'git difftool --tool-help'
or something.
