Subject: [PATCH 1/2] mergetools/bc: add `bc4` to the alias list for Beyond Compare
Date: Wed, 11 Nov 2020 20:33:17 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <0e2b11ae9851525d24e5f4e2bb0919bf4f0fd788.1605126798.git.gitgitgadget@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <pull.787.git.1605126798.gitgitgadget@gmail.com>

From: Johannes Schindelin <johannes.schindelin@gmx.de>

As of 83bbf9b92ea8 (mergetool--lib: improve support for vimdiff-style
tool variants, 2020-07-29), we already list `bc` and `bc3` as aliases
for that mergetool/difftool.

However, the current Beyond Compare version is _4_, therefore the `bc4`
alias is missing from that list.

Most notably, this is the root cause of the breakage reported in
https://github.com/git-for-windows/git/issues/2893 where a
well-configured `bc4` difftool stopped working as of v2.29.0:
`setup_tool` would notice that after stripping off the trailing digit,
it finds a match in `mergetools/` (the `bc` file), source it, and then
the alias would not match the list offered by the `list_tool_variants`
function, and simply exit without doing anything, but pretending
success.
