Signed-off-by: Charles Bailey <charles@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> --- I've just noticed that the only documentation for the new mergetool functionality is hidden in 'git help config' which is a little obscure. These two patches rectify this by adding documentation to 'git help mergetool'. I've also switched some quotes to backticks to follow what seems to be the more popular quoting convention in the git documentation, but as I'm not an expert in how the docs work in all format perhaps someone can correct me and I can update the patch.
