You can call git difftool --tool-help outside of a work tree but not
mergetool --tool-help but there's not real reason for this restriction
and it can be easily relaxed by deferring the require_work_tree call
until after the options have been parsed.

git-difftool used to create a command list script containing $( ... )
and explicitly call "sh -c" with this list.

Instead, allow mergetool --tool-help to take a mode parameter and call
mergetool directly to invoke the show_tool_help function. This mode
parameter is intented for use solely by difftool.

Another issue for Solaris. Originally I had a fix for this that
substituted "@SHELL_PATH@" even inside perl scripts but I felt that
having an interface for show_tool_help was a little neater all round but
I welcome alternative views.

What's the reason for forcing `--tool-help` to be the last option?
Wouldn't it be simpler to just change the top-level case statement to:

	--tool-help=*)
		TOOL_MODE=${1#--tool-help=}
		show_tool_help
		;;
	--tool-help)
		show_tool_help
		;;

It doesn't make sense to use --tool-help with other parameters so issuing
an error made sense to me at the time. You've pointed out to me that I
don't error when those other options come first so I'm now unsure how
valuable this behaviour is, now. (I can't immediately see a really neat way
to give a diagnostic if other options do come first.)

Your version is good, obviously simpler.

I definitely agree that having an interface is nice and tidy.

I believe qw() in list context is considered deprecated.

Sorry for the noise, I got my warnings mixed up.
It's only deprecated when used as parentheses, so this is fine as-is.
