Instead readers should be able to learn things like these from the log message (I am not saying the log message should have these in an enumerated list; I am just enumerating these as samples): - Why does this exist? - What does a tool author want to use the mechanism for, and how does the tool author use it? - This mechanism allows tool authors to say "never allow autoMerge for this tool", but there is no provision to let them say "always use autoMerge without allowing users to turn it off". It also needs a bit of documentation update to mention that individual mergetool backend can choose not to trigger the feature at all, even if the user configures it with mergetool.autoMerge and mergetool.<tool>.autoMerge options.
