DESCRIPTION

13       This is not a command the end user would want to run. Ever. This
14       documentation is meant for people who are studying the Porcelain-ish
15       scripts and/or are writing new ones.
16
17       The git-mergetool--lib scriptlet is designed to be sourced (using .) by
18       other shell scripts to set up functions for working with Git merge
19       tools.
20
21       Before sourcing git-mergetool--lib, your script must set TOOL_MODE to
22       define the operation mode for the functions listed below. diff and
23       merge are valid values.
