I thought that the recent trend is to spell these as 'git difftool' (two
separate words), although I didn't follow the discussion on quoting styles
closely, so I do not know which of sq, dq or backtick is preferred.

Can somebody help me out here?

I'd say it's backticks for commands/code, but I think discussion about a
style guide is still on.

Cool, I'll keep my eye on it.

I was merely going for consistency with the existing
documentation (such as git-mergetool.txt).
Once a consensus is reached I'll go ahead and follow suite.

Thanks,
