I don't think this will work since the names of the valid tools are not
necessarily the same as the names of the scriptlets - this is the exact
issue that prompted my patches to git-difftool yesterday.
The best option I can see given what's currently available is something
like this:
-- >8 --
sed -n -e '/^list_merge_tool_candidates/,/^}/ {
/tools=/ {
s/.*tools=//
s/"//g
s/\$tools//
s/ /\n/g
p
}
}' git-mergetool--lib.sh |sort |uniq |while read -r tool
do
test -z "$tool" && continue
( . git-mergetool--lib && setup_tool $tool
# Use can_diff and can_merge here.
)
done
