I might add that the prefix of the commit message title should be changed
to 'mergetools: '

The list of available values are already generated in the  mergetools-diff.txt and
mergetools-merge.txt files before this series. After 3/4 we also
include the description of the values. In 3/4 descriptions are only added for
vimdiff and friends, so the rest of the tools would simply be listed without 
descriptions. After 4/4 all tools have a description.
