I'd agree more with (3) if it was some critical part of git-mergetool. But it seems to be a completely optional feature that we use in only one place, and git-mergetool even detects this case and complains. So another alternative would be for the test to detect either that mergetool worked, or that we got the "mktemp is needed" error. -Peff -- 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
