This line looks suspect. How about,
if test "$is_gui" = true
instead? This expression could also be lifted out to an "is_gui"
helper function.

Would it be simpler to split this conditional into two lines?
selected=$(git config ...)
if test -n "$selected"
then
...
fi
Yes, it stops looking at the exit code, but it instead focuses on the
result, which is slightly more bulletproof against a funky user
configuration.
Regarding the two loops above, what would it look like if we
unrolled the logic and just spelled out the keys up front that it's a
little easier to follow?
I agree it is nicer from an implementation sense to use loops,
but we really shouldn't be planning to extend to more permutations in
the future beyond the diff/merge duality, so being explicit and spelling
out each config lookup permutation is simpler to understand since we
only have 4 states. We should be discouraged from adding any more ;-)
Something like,
keys=
if merge_mode
then
if gui_mode # probably worth adding this function
then
keys="merge.guitool merge.tool"
else
keys="merge.tool"
fi
else
if gui_mode
then
keys="diff.guitool merge.guitool diff.tool merge.tool"
else
keys="diff.tool merge.tool"
fi
fi
.. and then just have a single loop over $keys.
