The caller is preparing a narrowed-down copy of the working tree and
this function is asked if the path should be included in that copy.
If we say yes, the path from the working tree will be either symlinked
or copied into the narrowed-down copy.
For any path that is a symbolic link, the caller later fixes up the
narrowed-down copy by unlinking the path and replacing it with a
regular file it writes out that mimics the way how "git diff"
compares symbolic links.
Let's answer "no, you do not want to copy/symlink the working tree
file" for all symbolic links from this function, as we know the
result will not be used because it will be overwritten anyway.
Incidentally, this also stops the function from feeding a symbolic
link in the working tree to hash-object, which is a wrong thing to
do to begin with. The link may be pointing at a directory, or worse
may be dangling (both would be noticed as an error). Even if the
link points at a regular file, hashing the contents of a file that
is pointed at by the link is not correct (Git hashes the contents of
the link itself, not the pointee).

When the external diff reports an error, we try to clean up
and die. However, we can make this process a bit simpler:
1. We do not need to bother freeing memory, since we are
about to exit. Nor do we need to clean up our
tempfiles, since the atexit() handler will do it for
us. So we can die as soon as we see the error.
3. We can just call die() rather than fprintf/exit. This
does technically change our exit code, but the exit
code of "1" is not meaningful here. In fact, it is
probably wrong, since "1" from diff usually means
"completed successfully, but there were differences".
And while we're there, we can mark the error message for
translation, and drop the full stop at the end to make it
more like our other messages.

The temporary directory prepared by "difftool --dir-diff" to
show the result of a change can be modified by the user via
the tree diff program, and we try hard not to lose changes
to them after tree diff program returns to us.
However, the set of files to be copied back is computed
differently between --symlinks and --no-symlinks modes. The
former checks all paths that start out as identical to the
working tree file, while the latter checks paths that
already had a local modification in the working tree,
allowing changes made in the tree diff program to paths that
did not have any local change to be lost.

Currently the difftool --dir-diff tests may or may not use symlinks
depending on the operating system on which they are run. In one case
this has caused a test failure to be noticed only on Windows when the
test also fails on Linux when difftool is invoked with --no-symlinks.
Rewrite these tests so that they do not depend on the environment but
run explicitly with both --symlinks and --no-symlinks, protecting the

When 'git difftool --dir-diff' is using --no-symlinks (either explicitly
or implicitly because it's running on Windows), any working tree files
that have been copied to the temporary directory are copied back after
the difftool completes.
Because an earlier test uses "git add .", the "output" file used by
tests is tracked by Git and the following sequence occurs during some
tests:
1) the shell opens "output" to redirect the difftool output
2) difftool copies the empty "output" to the temporary directory
3) difftool runs "ls" which writes to "output"
4) difftool copies the empty "output" file back over the output of the
command
5) the output file doesn't contain the expected output, causing the
test to fail
Instead of adding all changes, explicitly add only the files that the
test is using, allowing later tests to write their result files into the
working tree.

After running the user's diff tool, git-difftool will copy any files
that differ between the working tree and the temporary tree. This is
useful when the user edits the file in their diff tool but is wrong if
they edit the working tree file while examining the diff.
Instead of copying unconditionally when the files differ, create and
index from the working tree files and only copy the temporary file back
if it was modified and the working tree file was not. If both files
have been modified, print a warning and exit with an error.
Note that we cannot use an existing index in git-difftool since those
contain the modified files that need to be checked out but here we are
looking at those files which are copied from the working tree and not
checked out. These are precisely the files which are not in the
existing indices.

"git difftool --dir-diff" made symlinks to working tree files when
preparing a temporary directory structure, so that accidental edits
of these files in the difftool are reflected back to the working
tree, but the logic to decide when to do so was not quite right.
* jk/difftool-dir-diff-edit-fix:
difftool --dir-diff: symlink all files matching the working tree
difftool: avoid double slashes in symlink targets
git-difftool(1): fix formatting of --symlink description
Some users like to edit files in their diff tool when using "git
difftool --dir-diff --symlink" to compare against the working tree but
difftool currently only created symlinks when a file contains unstaged
changes.
Change this behaviour so that symlinks are created whenever the
right-hand side of the comparison has the same SHA1 as the file in the
working tree.
Note that textconv filters are handled in the same way as by git-diff
and if a clean filter is not the inverse of its smudge filter we already
get a null SHA1 from "diff --raw" and will symlink the file without
going through the new hash-object based check.

Allow users to override the default commands provided by the
mergetools/* scriptlets.
Users occasionally run into problems where they expect to be
able to override the built-in tool names. The documentation
does not explicitly mention that built-ins cannot be overridden,
so it's easy to assume that it should work.
Lift this restriction so that built-in tools are handled the
same way as user-configured tools. Add tests to guarantee this
behavior.
A nice benefit of this change is that it protects users from
having future versions of git trump their custom configuration
with a new built-in tool.

Rolls the two-directory-diff logic from diffall script (in contrib/) into

By Tim Henigan
* th/difftool-diffall:
difftool: print list of valid tools with '--tool-help'
difftool: teach difftool to handle directory diffs
difftool: eliminate setup_environment function
difftool: stop appending '.exe' to git
difftool: remove explicit change of PATH
difftool: exit(0) when usage is printed
difftool: add '--no-gui' option
difftool: parse options using Getopt::Long
Since bc7a96a (mergetool--lib: Refactor tools into separate files,
2011-08-18), it is possible to add a new diff tool by creating a simple
script in the '$(git --exec-path)/mergetools' directory. Updating the
difftool help text is still a manual process, and the documentation can
easily go out of sync.
This commit teaches difftool the '--tool-help' option, which:
- Reads the list of valid tools from 'mergetools/*'
- Determines which of them are actually installed
- Determines which are capable of diffing (i.e. not just a merge tool)
- Prints the resulting list for the user
