## Commit message ##
mergetool: add automerge configuration
- It doesn't make sense to display lines without conflicts in the
- different views of all mergetools.
+ The purpose of mergetools is to resolve conflicts when git cannot
+ automatically do so.
- Only the lines that warrant conflict markers should be displayed.
+ In order to do that git has added markers in the specific areas that
+ need resolving, which the user must manually fix. The tool is supposed
+ to help with that.
- Most people would want this behavior on, but in case some don't; add a
- new configuration: mergetool.autoMerge.
+ However, by passing the original BASE, LOCAL, and REMOTE files, many
+ changes without conflict are presented to the user when in fact nothing
+ needs to be done for those.
+
+ We can fix that by propagating the final version of the file with the
+ automatic merge to all the panes of the mergetool (BASE, LOCAL, and
+ REMOTE), and only make them differ on the places where there are actual
+ conflicts.
+
+ As most people will want the new behavior, we enable it by default.
+ Users that do not want the new behavior can set the new configuration
+ mergetool.autoMerge to false.
See Seth House's blog post [1] for the idea, and the rationale.
