A few weeks ago I presented this RFC [1] where I introduced a new variant of the
vimdiff merge tool ("vimdiff4") that creates three tabs (instead of just one)
that look like this:
------------------------------------------
| <TAB #1> | TAB #2 | TAB #3 | |
------------------------------------------
| | | |
| LOCAL | BASE | REMOTE |
| | | | <---- Same information
------------------------------------------ presented by the
| | "standard" vimdiff
| MERGED | merge tool
| |
------------------------------------------
------------------------------------------
| TAB #1 | <TAB #2> | TAB #3 | |
------------------------------------------
| | |
| | |
| | |
| BASE | LOCAL | <---- Only differences
| | | between BASE and
| | | LOCAL are shown
| | |
------------------------------------------
------------------------------------------
| TAB #1 | TAB #2 | <TAB #3> | |
------------------------------------------
| | |
| | |
| | |
| BASE | REMOTE | <---- Only differences
| | | between BASE and
| | | REMOTE are shown
| | |
------------------------------------------
The motivation behind this was that, for non-trivial merges, the three way diff
presented in the first tab tends to be very confusing and in these cases
indivial diffs between BASE and LOCAL and between BASE and REMOTE are very
useful.
I have been using a "custom" merge tool for months to achieve this same result
by adding these lines to my .gitconfig file:
[mergetool "supermerge"]
cmd = vim -f -d -c \"4wincmd w | wincmd J | tabnew | edit $LOCAL | vertical diffsplit $BASE | tabnew | edit $REMOTE | vertical diffsplit $BASE | 2tabprevious\" \"$LOCAL\" \"$BASE\" \"$REMOTE\" \"$MERGED\"
trustExitCode = true
...and, because I found this "trick" very useful, I thought it would be a good
idea to add it as a git built-in merge tool (called "vimdiff4" because 1, 2 and
3 had already been taken) for everyone to use... and that's exactly what the RFC
I published did.
Now... as you can see in the RFC thread [1], David and Juno suggested that
maybe, instead of creating *yet another vimdiff variant*, we should take this
opportunity to:
* Come up with a more general way of defining arbitrary vim layouts.
* Re-implement "vimdiff1", "vimdiff2" and "vimdiff3" using this new mechanism
(after all, the only difference among them is that they present different
layouts to the user)
* Add documentation to all of this.
And the result of that work is what I'm presenting today :)
Some things I would like to mention:
1. There are three commits in this patch series:
- The first one implements the logic to generate new arbitrary layouts and
also re-defines "vimdiff1", "vimdiff2" and "vimdiff3" on top of it.
- The second one adds documentation. It is probably a good idea to start
reviewing this commit before the first one!
- The last commit *is not meant to be merged now*. It removes "vimdiff1",
"vimdiff2" and "vimdiff3", which is something that should only be done
after one or two releases with a deprecation notice and only if everyone
agrees to do so :)
2. "mergetools/vimdiff" is now a ~800 lines bash script, but most of it is
documentation (which is embedded in the tool itself for easier maintenance)
and unit tests.
I have only tested it with bash, but I've tried not to use any command not
already being used somewhere else, so I expect it to work in the same
places it was working before (however, let me know if there are some shell
compatibility requirements and I'll try to check them).
3. Regarding unit tests, "mergetool/vimdiff" contains instructions on how to
run them (just call the script without arguments after making changes, to
make sure you didn't break anything).
Right now it prints "OK" on all test cases (obviously) [2]
3. The "git {diff,merge}tool --tool-help" command now also prints the
documentation for each tool (instead of just its name, as before).
You can see an example of the output here ([3] and [4])
Finally, let me say that, while I like what this patch series achieves, I would
also *completely* understand if you decide not to merge it due to being a
complex solution to a simple problem that can be solved (as I had been doing up
until today) by just adding three line to one's .gitconfig.
[mergetool "supermerge"]
cmd = vim -f -d -c ...(custom complex sequence of vim commands)...
trustExitCode = true
Let me know what you think.
Thanks.

New in v2:
* Remove deprecation of vimdiff{1,2,3} (they will remain for backwards
compatibility, but built on top of the new generic layout mechanism)
* Remove unnecessary "IFS="
* Replace DEBUG --> GIT_MERGETOOL_VIMDIFF_DEBUG
* Stop using "local" (turns out it was not necessary)
* Stop using bash arrays (use arrays of variables instead)
* Stop using bash substring expansion (use a new "substring" function
instead).
* Refactor some of the internal loops to make the code faster. This was needed
because the two previous changes (specially the one where I stop using
"substring expansion") slowed down the script to a point where I had to wait
for a few *seconds* before the "layout" string was resolved (recursion +
bash forks are a recipe for sluggishness). Fortunately we are back to the
low hundreds of milliseconds range.
* Change markers:
- File to save: * --> @
- New tab : ; --> +
- Vert split : | --> ,
- Horz split : - --> /
* Rewrite examples to use as few parenthesis as possible (typically zero)
and better explain operators priority.
* Other fixes to remove problems reported by "shellcheck --shell=sh" (which
checks syntax agains the POSIX shell spec)
* Rename "index_..." vars to make more obvious what they do.
* Use "$" inside arithmetic expressions $((...))
NOTE: "shellcheck" issues a warning stating that "$" is not needed inside
arithmetic expressions.
* Use "test -n" instead of "! test -z"
* Use "=" instead of "==" in "test"
* Use "= 0" instead of "-eq 0"
* Do not use "eval" nor "--" when copying a file to MERGED
* Do not use "-o" with grep
* Use <<-\EOF instead of <<\ENDOFMESSAGE and remove extra indent in "here
docs".
* Also, let me put here some answers to questions made in the replies to
version v1 of this patch set:
> What do backticks do in here?
>
> some_var=(
> `# Name` "Rick Deckard"
> `# Age` "Unknown"
> `# Occupation` "Blade runner"
> )
The backticks execute the code inside, which is a comment (everything after
a "#" is considered a comment by the shell), thus it does nothing.
The `# ...` trick can be used to insert inline comments in bash. Another
example:
$ ls -l `# long format` -h `# human readable` *.txt
In any case, as you can see in this new revision, because I'm no longer
using bash arrays, this trick to comment each test case is not needed
anymore.
> Why is "eval" needed here:
>
> eval "$merge_tool_path" \
> -f "$FINAL_CMD" "$LOCAL" "$BASE" "$REMOTE" "$MERGED"
Variable "$FINAL_CMD" contains a string that looks like this:
$ echo $FINAL_CMD
-c "vim cmd 1 | vim cmd 2 | ..." -c "tabfirst"
We need to call "vim" exactly like that, but if we do this...
$ vim $FINAL_CMD
...then "vim" will be excev'ed with the following arguments:
1. -c
2. "vim
3. cmd
4. 1
...
...instead of the desired scenario:
1. -c
2. cmd 1 | cmd 2 | ...
3. -c
4. tabfirst
Using "eval" fixes this. A shorter example shows how this works:
$ A="1 \"2 3\""
$ ls $A
ls: cannot access '1': No such file or directory
ls: cannot access '"2': No such file or directory
ls: cannot access '3"': No such file or directory
$ eval ls $A
ls: cannot access '1': No such file or directory
ls: cannot access '2 3': No such file or directory
* Finally, I think I have addressed all comments to v1 *except for two
things*:
1. Moving the documentation to "Documentation/" instead of having it
embedded inside the "mergetools/vimdiff" script.
2. Move unit tests to the "test suit"
For (1) I would like more details. Is the idea not to print any
documentation when running "git mergetool --tool-help" and have all the
details included in "git help mergetool" instead?
Right now "git help mergetool" does not mention any tool specific details
and, instead, redirects the user to "git mergetool --tool-help" (that's why
I originally placed the new documentation there).
In any case, all the doc has been placed on its own commit, so once we
decide how to proceed its just a matter of reverting it.
For (2) I still need to investigate how this is done and prepare a "v3" if
needed :)
New in v3:
* Rebase on top of latest master
* Documentation moved to "Documentation/". Running "git mergetool
--tool-help" now works like before (ie. it just lists all available merge
tools) except that a one line reference to a "man" entry is also printed
for those entries providing one (right now, only vimdiff):
$ git mergetool --tool-help
'git mergetool --tool=<tool>' may be set to one of the following:
araxis
meld
vimdiff
Run 'man git-mergetool--vimdiff' for details
vimdiff1
Run 'man git-mergetool--vimdiff' for details
...
* New test file "t/7609-mergetool--lib.sh" created. Right now it only
contains one test which calls "mergetools/vimdiff" with a special
environment set, causing layout unit tests to run.

When running 'git mergetool -t vimdiff', a new configuration option
('mergetool.vimdiff.layout') can now be used to select how the user
wants the different windows, tabs and buffers to be displayed.
If the option is not provided, the layout will be the same one that was
being used before this commit (ie. two rows with LOCAL, BASE and COMMIT
in the top one and MERGED in the bottom one).
The 'vimdiff' variants ('vimdiff{1,2,3}') still work but, because they
represented nothing else than different layouts, are now internally
implemented as a subcase of 'vimdiff' with the corresponding
pre-configured 'layout'.

Running 'git {merge,diff}tool --tool-help' now also prints usage
information about the vimdiff tool (and its variantes) instead of just
its name.
Two new functions ('diff_cmd_help()' and 'merge_cmd_help()') have been
added to the set of functions that each merge tool (ie. scripts found
inside "mergetools/") can overwrite to provided tool specific
information.
Right now, only 'mergetools/vimdiff' implements these functions, but
other tools are encouraged to do so in the future, specially if they
take configuration options not explained anywhere else (as it is the
case with the 'vimdiff' tool and the new 'layout' option)

+git-difftool{litdd}vimdiff(1)
+=============================
+
+NAME
+----
+git-mergetool--vimdiff - Helper script to run vim as a merge tool
+
+SYNOPSIS
+--------
+[verse]
+'git mergetool' --tool=vimdiff ... (rest of 'git mergetool' options)
+
+DESCRIPTION
+-----------
+When specifying '--tool=vimdiff' in 'git mergetool' git will open vim with a 4
+windows layout distributed in the following way:
+
+ ------------------------------------------
+ | | | |
+ | LOCAL | BASE | REMOTE |
+ | | | |
+ ------------------------------------------
+ | |
+ | MERGED |
+ | |
+ ------------------------------------------
+
+"LOCAL", "BASE" and "REMOTE" are read-only buffers showing the contents of the
+conflicting file in a specific git commit ("commit you are merging into",
+"common ancestor commit" and "commit you are merging from" respectively)
+
+"MERGED" is a writable buffer where you have to resolve the conflicts (using the
+other read-only buffers as a reference). Once you are done, save and exit "vim"
+as usual (":wq") or, if you want to abort, exit using ":cq".
+
+LAYOUT CONFIGURATION
+--------------------
+You can change the windows layout used by vim by setting configuration variable
+"mergetool.vimdiff.layout" which accepts a string where the following separators
+have special meaning:
+
+ - "+" is used to "open a new tab"
+ - "," is used to "open a new vertical split"
+ - "/" is used to "open a new horizontal split"
+ - "@" is used to indicate which is the file containing the final version after
+ solving the conflicts. In not present, "MERGED" will be used by default.
+
+The precedence of the operators is this one (you can use parenthesis to change
+it):
+
+ @ > + > / > ,
+
+Let's see some examples to undertand how it works:
+
+ * layout = "(LOCAL,BASE,REMOTE)/MERGED"
+
+ This is exactly the same as the default layout we have already seen.
+
+ Note that "/" has precedence over "," and thus the parenthesis are not
+ needed in this case. The next layout definition is equivalent:
+
+ layout = "LOCAL,BASE,REMOTE / MERGED"
+
+ * layout = "LOCAL,MERGED,REMOTE"
+
+ If, for some reason, we are not interested in the "BASE" buffer.
+
+ ------------------------------------------
+ | | | |
+ | | | |
+ | LOCAL | MERGED | REMOTE |
+ | | | |
+ | | | |
+ ------------------------------------------
+
+ * layout = "MERGED"
+
+ Only the "MERGED" buffer will be shown. Note, however, that all the other
+ ones are still loaded in vim, and you can access them with the "buffers"
+ command.
+
+ ------------------------------------------
+ | |
+ | |
+ | MERGED |
+ | |
+ | |
+ ------------------------------------------
+
+ * layout = "@LOCAL,REMOTE"
+
+ When "MERGED" is not present in the layout, you must "mark" one of the
+ buffers with an asterisk. That will become the buffer you need to edit and
+ save after resolving the conflicts.
+
+ ------------------------------------------
+ | | |
+ | | |
+ | | |
+ | LOCAL | REMOTE |
+ | | |
+ | | |
+ | | |
+ ------------------------------------------
+
+ * layout = "LOCAL,BASE,REMOTE / MERGED + BASE,LOCAL + BASE,REMOTE"
+
+ Three tabs will open: the first one is a copy of the default layout, while
+ the other two only show the differences between "BASE" and "LOCAL" and
+ "BASE" and "REMOTE" respectively.
+
+ ------------------------------------------
+ | <TAB #1> | TAB #2 | TAB #3 | |
+ ------------------------------------------
+ | | | |
+ | LOCAL | BASE | REMOTE |
+ | | | |
+ ------------------------------------------
+ | |
+ | MERGED |
+ | |
+ ------------------------------------------
+
+ ------------------------------------------
+ | TAB #1 | <TAB #2> | TAB #3 | |
+ ------------------------------------------
+ | | |
+ | | |
+ | | |
+ | BASE | LOCAL |
+ | | |
+ | | |
+ | | |
+ ------------------------------------------
+
+ ------------------------------------------
+ | TAB #1 | TAB #2 | <TAB #3> | |
+ ------------------------------------------
+ | | |
+ | | |
+ | | |
+ | BASE | REMOTE |
+ | | |
+ | | |
+ | | |
+ ------------------------------------------
+
+ * layout = "LOCAL,BASE,REMOTE / MERGED + BASE,LOCAL + BASE,REMOTE + (LOCAL/BASE/REMOTE),MERGED"
+
+ Same as the previous example, but adds a fourth tab with the same
+ information as the first tab, with a different layout.
+
+ ---------------------------------------------
+ | TAB #1 | TAB #2 | TAB #3 | <TAB #4> |
+ ---------------------------------------------
+ | LOCAL | |
+ |---------------------| |
+ | BASE | MERGED |
+ |---------------------| |
+ | REMOTE | |
+ ---------------------------------------------
+
+ Note how in the third tab definition we need to use parenthesis to make ","
+ more prioritary than "/".
+
+VARIANTS
+--------
+Instead of '--tool=vimdiff', you can also use these other variants:
+
+ * '--tool=gvimdiff', to open gvim instead of vim.
+
+ * '--tool=nvimdiff', to open nvim ('neovim') instead of vim.
+
+When using these variants, in order to specify a custom layout you will have to
+set configuration variables 'mergetool.gvimdiff.layout' and
+'mergetool.nvimdiff.layout' instead of 'mergetool.vimdiff.layout'
+
+In addition, for backwards compatibility with previous git versions, you can
+also append '1', '2' or '3' to either 'vimdiff' or any of the variants (ex:
+'vimdiff3', 'nvimdiff1', etc...) to use a predefined layout.
+In other words, using '--tool=[g,n,]vimdiffx' is the same as using
+'--tool=[g,n,]vimdiff' and setting configuration variable
+'mergetool.[g,n,]vimdiff.layout' to...
+
+ * x=1 --> "@LOCAL, REMOTE"
+ * x=2 --> "LOCAL, MERGED, REMOTE"
+ * x=3 --> "MERGED"
+
+Example: using '--tool=gvimdiff2' will open 'gvim' with three columns (LOCAL,
+MERGED and REMOTE).

Create a new test case file for the different available merge tools.
Right now it only tests the 'mergetool.vimdiff.layout' options. Other
merge tools might be interested in adding their own tests here too.

Just a side note: I understand that [1] recommended adding the "$"
inside arithmetic expressions, but by chance I happened to be browsing
the history of CodingGuidelines and ran across 32b5fe7f0e
(CodingGuidelines: drop arithmetic expansion advice to use "$x",
2020-05-04) which dropped[2] the recommendation to use "$" inside the
expression. Anyhow, certainly not worth a re-roll.
By the way, since you've removed Bashisms, do you still need the
`#!/bin/bash` at the top of the script?

I don't mind preparing a v4 with this change. I also think it makes the code
cleaner. I'll do that :)

Good catch. Will do.
I'll wait a few more days for extra comments and prepare a v4 with these
changes. Thanks for the suggestions.

You don't seem to need this particular boilerplate, no?

Don't use "bash", or if you do there should be appropriate prereqs to
check whether bash is there etc. See some existing tests that really do
mean to use it.

Isn't the case/esac in those functions entirely redundant and they could
just "echo"?

Yes, I originally left it here in case we wanted to print different messages for
