DESCRIPTION

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