This log message is misleading - the existing code in list_merge_tool_candidates already filters the tools like this, so the change is more: mergetool--lib: don't use a hardcoded list for "--tool-help" Instead of using a list of tools in list_merge_tool_candidates, list the available scriptlets and query each of those to know whether it applies to diff mode and/or merge mode. guess_merge_tool still relies on list_merge_tool_candidates so we can't remove that function now. The patch seems to do the right thing, although I have a couple of minor nits... > Signed-off-by: David Aguilar <davvid@xxxxxxxxx> > --- > git-mergetool--lib.sh | 26 +++++++++++++++++++++----- > 1 file changed, 21 insertions(+), 5 deletions(-) > > diff --git a/git-mergetool--lib.sh b/git-mergetool--lib.sh > index db8218a..c547c59 100644 > --- a/git-mergetool--lib.sh > +++ b/git-mergetool--lib.sh > @@ -168,17 +168,33 @@ list_merge_tool_candidates () { > } > > show_tool_help () { > - list_merge_tool_candidates > unavailable= available= LF=' > ' > - for i in $tools > + > + scriptlets="$(git --exec-path)"/mergetools > + for i in "$scriptlets"/* > do > - merge_tool_path=$(translate_merge_tool_path "$i") > + .

I'd prefer to see two separate if statements either way since the "test $tool = defaults" case is different from the "does it apply to the current mode?" case. The "$tool = defaults" case could even move to the top of the loop. > + merge_tool_path=$(translate_merge_tool_path "$tool") > if type "$merge_tool_path" >/dev/null 2>&1 > then > - available="$available$i$LF" > + available="$available$tool$LF" > else > - unavailable="$unavailable$i$LF" > + unavailable="$unavailable$tool$LF" > fi > done -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
