Hello all,

I was wondering if there is any reason why 'git difftool' accepts the
'-g|--gui' whereas 'git mergetool' does not have an option to accept
that flag. Please let me know if this is intentional, otherwise I can
write up a patch to add the GUI flag to 'mergetool'.

Thanks!

Hello,

The difference was not intentional.  The "--gui" feature was
added to difftool because that's where the feature was
originally requested, but there's no reason why mergetool
couldn't have a similar option.
