Allow vimdiff users to signal that they do not want to use the result of a merge by exiting with ":cquit", which tells Vim to exit with an error code. This is better than the current behavior because it allows users to directly flag that the merge is bad, using a standard Vim feature, rather than relying on a timestamp heuristic that is unforgiving to users that save in-progress merge files. The original behavior can be restored by configuring mergetool.vimdiff.trustExitCode to false. Reported-by: Dun Peal <dunpealer@xxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: David Aguilar <davvid@xxxxxxxxx> --- I've included anyone that has ever touched the vimdiff feature on the Cc: list since I'm assuming that you use vimdiff. This change is a slight change in default behavior when using mergetool with vimdiff, but I think it's a better default overall. mergetools/vimdiff | 4 ++++ 1 file changed, 4 insertions(+) diff --git a/mergetools/vimdiff b/mergetools/vimdiff index a841ffdb4..10d86f3e1 100644 --- a/mergetools/vimdiff +++ b/mergetools/vimdiff @@ -42,3 +42,7 @@ translate_merge_tool_path() { ;; esac } + +exit_code_trustable () { + true +} -- 2.11.0.rc3.6.g2e567fd
