Apparently, mercurial doesn't do merges.

Um, "hg merge"?

(I was poking around on the mercurial webpages today and discovered this.)

It foists that task off on to the external program of your choice.

Quoting:
In the recent batteries included installers, gpyfm has been configured
as the default interactive 3-way merge tool.   Actually, gpyfm is only
the default because the hgmerge wrapper finds it before kdiff3.

* If the 3-way merge is trivial (does not result in conflicts), then the
interactive merge tool is never launched.

Both of these behaviors are configurable, but they are the defaults.

Also note that the November release didn't include kdiff3 (it only had
gpyfm), but it was reintroduced in the December release.

Now, I would like to know if this is different from how git does things.

Does git never launch a visual diff tool?
