From 80f5a16798b7ff224aeab4a6b6e3627446071345 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Philippe Blain Date: Thu, 7 Jan 2021 01:09:05 +0000 Subject: mergetool--lib: fix '--tool-help' to correctly show available tools Commit 83bbf9b92e (mergetool--lib: improve support for vimdiff-style tool variants, 2020-07-29) introduced a regression in the output of `git mergetool --tool-help` and `git difftool --tool-help` [1]. In function 'show_tool_names' in git-mergetool--lib.sh, we loop over the supported mergetools and their variants and accumulate them in the variable 'variants', separating them with a literal '\n'. The code then uses 'echo $variants' to turn these '\n' into newlines, but this behaviour is not portable, it just happens to work in some shells, like dash(1)'s 'echo' builtin. For shells in which 'echo' does not turn '\n' into newlines, the end result is that the only tools that are shown are the existing variants (except the last variant alphabetically), since the variants are separated by actual newlines in '$variants' because of the several 'echo' calls in mergetools/{bc,vimdiff}::list_tool_variants. Fix this bug by embedding an actual line feed into `variants` in show_tool_names(). While at it, replace `sort | uniq` by `sort -u`. To prevent future regressions, add a simple test that checks that a few known tools are correctly shown (let's avoid counting the total number of tools to lessen the maintenance burden when new tools are added or if '--tool-help' learns additional logic, like hiding tools depending on the current platform).
