vimdiff and vimdiff2 differ only by their merge command so remove the
logic in the diff command since it's not actually needed.

TortoiseMerge.exe was ben renamed to TortoiseGitMerge.exe (starting
with 1.8.0) in order to make it clear that it has special support
for git, and prevent confusion with the TortoiseSVN TortoiseMerge
version.

Use $TMPDIR when creating the /dev/null placeholder for p4merge.
This prevents users from finding a seemingly random untracked file
in their worktree.
This is different than what mergetool does with $LOCAL and
$REMOTE because those files exist to aid users when resolving
merges. p4merge's /dev/null placeholder is not helpful in that
situation so it is sensible to keep it out of the worktree.

p4merge does not properly handle the case where "/dev/null"
is passed as a filename.
Work it around by creating a temporary file for this purpose.

Needs to be amended with Tested-by when a report comes...
The actual external command to run for mergetool backend can be
specified with difftool/mergetool.$name.cmd configuration
variables, but this mechanism was ignored for the backends we
natively support.
* da/mergetool-custom:
mergetool--lib: Allow custom commands to override built-ins
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.

Code Compare is a commercial file comparison tool for Windows, see
http://www.devart.com/codecompare/
Version 2.80.4 added support for command line arguments preceded by a
dash instead of a slash. This is required for Git for Windows because
slashes in command line arguments get mangled with according to these
rules:

DeltaWalker is a non-free tool popular among some users. Add a
plug-in to support it from difftool and mergetool.
Note that the $(pwd)/ in front of $MERGED should not be necessary.
However without it, DeltaWalker crashes with a JRE exception.

In v1.7.7-rc0~3^2 (2011-08-19), git mergetool's "meld" support learned
to use the --output option when calling versions of meld that are
detected to support it (1.5.0 and newer, hopefully).
Alas, it misdetects old versions (before 1.1.5, 2006-06-11) of meld as
supporting the option, so on systems with such meld, instead of
getting a nice merge helper, the operator gets a dialog box with the
text "Wrong number of arguments (Got 5)". (Version 1.1.5 is when meld
switched to using optparse. One consequence of that change was that
errors in usage are detected and signalled through the exit status
even when --help was passed.)
Luckily there is a simpler check that is more reliable: the usage
string printed by "meld --help" reliably reflects whether --output is
supported in a given version. Use it.

On Windows the bcompare tool launches a graphical program and does
not wait for it to terminate. A separate 'bcomp' tool is provided which
will wait for the view to exit so we use this instead.

Individual merge tools are now defined in a mergetools/$tool
file which is sourced at runtime.
The individual files are installed into $(git --exec-path)/mergetools/.
New tools can be added by creating a new file instead of editing the
git-mergetool--lib.sh scriptlet.
