d651a54b8a mergetool: don't suggest to continue after last file
Eliminate an unnecessary prompt to continue after failed merger, by
not calling the prompt_after_failed_merge function when only one
iteration remains.

Uses positional parameters to count files in the list to make it
easier to see if we have any more paths to process from within the
loop.

d0e0cfe745 mergetool: fix running in subdir when rerere enabled
"git mergetool" (without any pathspec on the command line) that is
not run from the top-level of the working tree no longer works in
Git v2.11, failing to get the list of unmerged paths from the output
of "git rerere remaining".  This regression was introduced by
57937f70a0 ("mergetool: honor diff.orderFile", 2016-10-07).

This is because the pathnames output by the 'git rerere remaining'
command are relative to the top-level directory but the 'git diff
--name-only' command expects its pathname arguments to be relative
to the current working directory.  To make everything consistent,
cd_to_toplevel before running 'git diff --name-only' and adjust any
relative pathnames.

08221e3fa2 mergetool: move main program flow into a main() function
Make it easier to follow the program's flow by isolating all
logic into functions.  Isolate the main execution code path into
a single unit instead of having prompt_after_failed_merge()
interrupt it partyway through.

The use of a main() function is borrowing a convention from C,
Python, Perl, and many other languages.  This helps readers more
familiar with other languages understand the purpose of each
function when diving into the codebase with fresh eyes.

faaab8d571 mergetool: support delete/delete conflicts
If two branches each move a file into different directories then
mergetool will fail because it assumes that the file being merged, and
its parent directory, are present in the worktree.

Create the merge file's parent directory to allow using the
deleted base version of the file for merge resolution when
encountering a delete/delete conflict.

The end result is that a delete/delete conflict is presented for the
user to resolve.

3e8e691abe mergetool: Use args as pathspec to unmerged files
Mergetool now treats its path arguments as a pathspec (like other git
subcommands), restricting action to the given files and directories.
Files matching the pathspec are filtered so mergetool only acts on
unmerged paths; previously it would assume each path argument was in an
unresolved state, and get confused when it couldn't check out their
other stages.

Running "git mergetool subdir" will prompt to resolve all conflicted
blobs under subdir.

ff7f089ed1 mergetool: Teach about submodules
When the index has conflicted submodules, mergetool used to mildly
clobber the module, renaming it to mymodule.BACKUP.nnnn, then failing to
copy it non-recursively.

Recognize submodules and offer a resolution instead:

  Submodule merge conflict for 'Shared':
    {local}: submodule commit ad9f12e3e6205381bf2163a793d1e596a9e211d0
    {remote}: submodule commit f5893fb70ec5646efcd9aa643c5136753ac89253
  Use (l)ocal or (r)emote, or (a)bort?

Selecting a commit will stage it, but not update the submodule (as git
does had there been no conflict). Type changes are also supported,
should the path be a submodule on one side, and a file, symlink,
directory, or deleted on the other.

2f59c94704 mergetool: don't skip modify/remove conflicts
Since bb0a484 (mergetool: Skip autoresolved paths, 2010-08-17),
mergetool uses different ways of figuring out the list of files with
merge conflicts depending on whether rerere is active. If rerere is
active, mergetool will use 'git rerere status' to list the files with
remaining conflicts. However, the output from that command does not
list conflicts of types that rerere does not handle, such as
modify/remove conflicts.

Another problem with solely relying on the output from 'git rerere
status' is that, for new conflicts that are not yet known to rerere,
the output from the command will list the files even after adding them
to the index. This means that if the conflicts in some files have been
resolved and 'git mergetool' is run again, it will ask the user
something like the following for each of those files.

 file1: file does not need merging
 Continue merging other unresolved paths (y/n) ?

Solve both of these problems by replacing the call to 'git rerere
status' with a call to the new 'git rerere remaining' that was
introduced in the previous commit.

bb0a484e98 mergetool: Skip autoresolved paths
When mergetool is run without path limiters it loops
over each entry in 'git ls-files -u'.  This includes
autoresolved paths.

Teach mergetool to only merge files listed in 'rerere status'
when rerere is enabled.

There are some subtle but harmless changes in behavior.
We now call cd_to_toplevel when no paths are given.
We do this because 'rerere status' paths are always relative
to the root.  This is beneficial for the non-rerere use as
well in that mergetool now runs against all unmerged files
regardless of the current directory.

This also slightly tweaks the output when run without paths
to be more readable.

The old output:

Merging the files: foo
bar
baz

The new output:

Merging:
foo
bar
baz

47d65924a6 mergetool--lib: simplify API usage by removing more global variables
The mergetool--lib scriplet was tricky to use because it relied upon
the existance of several global shell variables.  This removes more
global variables so that things are simpler for callers.

A side effect is that some variables are recomputed each time
run_merge_tool() is called, but the overhead for recomputing
them is justified by the simpler implementation.

ff4a18552a mergetool: fix running mergetool in sub-directories
The previous fix to mergetool to use checkout-index instead of cat-file
broke running mergetool anywhere except the root of the repository.

This fixes it by using the correct relative paths for temporary files
and index paths.

0ec7b6c26d mergetool: respect autocrlf by using checkout-index
Previously, git mergetool used cat-file which does not perform git to
worktree conversion. This changes mergetool to use git checkout-index
instead which means that the temporary files used for mergetool use the
correct line endings for the platform.

fb700cb067 mergetool: Don't repeat merge tool candidates
git mergetool listed some candidates for mergetools twice, depending on
the environment.

This slightly changes the behavior when both KDE_FULL_SESSION and
GNOME_DESKTOP_SESSION_ID are set at the same time; in such a case
meld is used in favor of kdiff3 (the old code favored kdiff3 in such a
case), but it should not matter in practice.
