Subject: [PATCH] mergetools/meld: improve backwards-compatibiilty when using "--output"
Date: Sat, 17 Jun 2017 03:24:54 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20170617102454.2040-1-davvid@gmail.com> (raw)

Meld 3.16.0 requires a "=" in the --output argument, as it uses
a simple hand-rolled command-line parser.

Newer versions of Meld (3.16.4, and possibly earlier) use
optpaarse, which accepts either "--output <file>" or
"--output=<file>".

Use "--output=<file>" for better compatibility.
