4cefa495ca git-difftool: Add '--gui' for selecting a GUI tool
Users might prefer to have git-difftool use a different
tool when run from a Git GUI.

This teaches git-difftool to honor 'diff.guitool' when
the '--gui' option is specified.  This allows users to
configure their preferred command-line diff tool in
'diff.tool' and a GUI diff tool in 'diff.guitool'.

e8d1180467 Wait for git diff to finish in git difftool
In ActivetState Perl, exec does not wait for the started program. This
breaks difftool tests and may cause unexpected behaviour: git difftool
has returned, but the rest of code (diff and possibly the interactive
program are still running in the background.

a904392eae difftool: add support for a difftool.prompt config variable
difftool now supports difftool.prompt so that users do not have to
pass --no-prompt or hit enter each time a diff tool is launched.
The --prompt flag overrides the configuration variable.

afcbc8e7ec difftool: move 'git-difftool' out of contrib
This prepares 'git-difftool' and its documentation for
mainstream use.

'git-difftool-helper' became 'git-difftool--helper'
since users should not use it directly.

'git-difftool' was added to the list of commands as
an ancillaryinterrogator.
