Subject: [PATCH 07/14] difftool: add a -y shortcut for --no-prompt
Date: Mon, 6 Apr 2009 01:31:22 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1239006689-14695-8-git-send-email-davvid@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1239006689-14695-7-git-send-email-davvid@gmail.com>
This is another consistency cleanup to make git-difftool's options
match git-mergetool.

DESCRIPTION
-----------
'git-difftool' is a git command that allows you to compare and edit files
-between revisions using common merge tools. At its most basic level,
-'git-difftool' does what 'git-mergetool' does but its use is for non-merge
-situations such as when preparing commits or comparing changes against
-the index.
-
-'git difftool' is a frontend to 'git diff' and accepts the same
-arguments and options.
-
-See linkgit:git-diff[1] for the full list of supported options.
