Re: [PATCH] mergetool: Add support for vimdiff.

[Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>]

Hi James,

	Thanks for adding vimdiff support!  One minor nit, which I
fixed before applying to my tree:  You didn't update git-mergetool.txt
and config.txt in the Documentation directory to add "vimdiff" to the
list of possible merge resolution tools.

Junio, please pull from:

	git://repo.or.cz/git/mergetool.git
