Bikeshed opinion: I don't know if hasAutoMerge is a good name :)

I'm actually prefer this change in 2 separated patches to reduce noise.
But given that mergetool/meld doesn't attract much attention, I don't know.

The coding guideline seems to not like "test -o".
I think it's acceptable in this case since we control its input.
The output is comming out of "git config --bool" anyway, so meld_has_output_option must be either "", "true", or "false"

I think we're better to do this instead:

	if test -n "$meld_has_output_option"
	then
		: use configured output
	else
		: messing with help
	fi

If I were writing this patch, I probably changed get_meld_help_msg to

	init_meld_help_msg () {
		if test -z "$meld_help_msg"
		then
			meld_path="$(git config mergetool.meld.path || echo meld)"
			meld_help_msg=$($meld_path --help 2>&1)
		fi
	}

And call init_meld_help_msg unconditionally here, (and in --auto-merge arm below, maybe other arms in the future).

I'm writing without much thought into this, please take my word with a grain of salt :)

I think Git project prefer aligning case arm with case, IOW, move left 1 TAB.

It's nice to see this update, good.
The comment is no longer correct, though.
The version 3.20.2 has --output but not OPTIONS.

It's not introduced by your change, but I think it's better to say:

	# All versions that has [OPTIONS???] supports --output

> +		meld_has_auto_merge_option=$(git config mergetool.meld.hasAutoMerge)

Since we don't canonicallise to bool output of mergetool.meld.hasAutoMerge, I think we would need:

	case "$meld_has_auto_merge_option" in
	[Tt]rue|[Yy]es|[Oo]n)
		meld_has_auto_merge_option=true ;;
	auto)
		: this shenanigan ;;
	esac

But, that's a bit messy. Let's see other's opinions.

This comment doesn't apply here.

Subject: [PATCH] Enable auto-merge for meld to follow the vim-diff beharior
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Make the mergetool used with "meld" backend behave similarly to
how "vimdiff" behavior by telling it to auto-merge parts without
conflicts and highlight the parts with conflicts when configuring
`mergetool.meld.hasAutoMerge` with `true`, or `auto` for
automatically detecting the option.
