The "most common" is secondary, and "well known" is I completely agree with this. So we should take the chance and add a Windows representative to the list of difftools, no? > Unlike POSIXy folks, where IRIX or Solaris users are likely to have > heard of Gnome tools even if they do not use the environment on > their platforms, Windows users tend to be isolated bunch, so it > would not hurt to include at least one well-known Windows-only tool > in the list. Heh. I believe POSIX folks are no less isolated. (How many Windows-only tools would you recognize by name?) They're just isolated in a bigger world ;-) > Here is a v2, with documentation updates. This drops the explicit mention of --tool-help as an option in the documentation compared to my patch. Do you want to keep --tool-help being mentioned inline as part of the --tool option documentation only? -- Sebastian Schuberth -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
