"git mergetool" (without any pathspec on the command line) that is
not run from the top-level of the working tree no longer works in
Git v2.11, failing to get the list of unmerged paths from the output
of "git rerere remaining". This regression was introduced by
57937f70a0 ("mergetool: honor diff.orderFile", 2016-10-07).
This is because the pathnames output by the 'git rerere remaining'
command are relative to the top-level directory but the 'git diff
--name-only' command expects its pathname arguments to be relative
to the current working directory. To make everything consistent,
cd_to_toplevel before running 'git diff --name-only' and adjust any
relative pathnames.

other stages.

When the index has conflicted submodules, mergetool used to mildly
clobber the module, renaming it to mymodule.BACKUP.nnnn, then failing to
copy it non-recursively.
Recognize submodules and offer a resolution instead:
Submodule merge conflict for 'Shared':
{local}: submodule commit ad9f12e3e6205381bf2163a793d1e596a9e211d0
{remote}: submodule commit f5893fb70ec5646efcd9aa643c5136753ac89253
Use (l)ocal or (r)emote, or (a)bort?
Selecting a commit will stage it, but not update the submodule (as git
does had there been no conflict). Type changes are also supported,
should the path be a submodule on one side, and a file, symlink,
directory, or deleted on the other.

Since bb0a484 (mergetool: Skip autoresolved paths, 2010-08-17),
mergetool uses different ways of figuring out the list of files with
merge conflicts depending on whether rerere is active. If rerere is
active, mergetool will use 'git rerere status' to list the files with
remaining conflicts. However, the output from that command does not
list conflicts of types that rerere does not handle, such as
modify/remove conflicts.
Another problem with solely relying on the output from 'git rerere
status' is that, for new conflicts that are not yet known to rerere,
the output from the command will list the files even after adding them
to the index. This means that if the conflicts in some files have been
resolved and 'git mergetool' is run again, it will ask the user
something like the following for each of those files.
file1: file does not need merging
Continue merging other unresolved paths (y/n) ?
Solve both of these problems by replacing the call to 'git rerere
status' with a call to the new 'git rerere remaining' that was
introduced in the previous commit.

When mergetool is run without path limiters it loops
over each entry in 'git ls-files -u'. This includes
autoresolved paths.
Teach mergetool to only merge files listed in 'rerere status'
when rerere is enabled.
There are some subtle but harmless changes in behavior.
We now call cd_to_toplevel when no paths are given.
We do this because 'rerere status' paths are always relative
to the root. This is beneficial for the non-rerere use as
well in that mergetool now runs against all unmerged files
regardless of the current directory.
This also slightly tweaks the output when run without paths
to be more readable.
The old output:
Merging the files: foo
bar
baz
The new output:
Merging:
foo

Currently git mergetool is restricted to a set of commands defined
in the script. You can subvert the mergetool.<tool>.path to force
git mergetool to use a different command, but if you have a command
whose invocation syntax does not match one of the current tools then
you would have to write a wrapper script for it.
This patch adds two git config variable patterns which allow a more
flexible choice of merge tool.
If you run git mergetool with -t/--tool or the merge.tool config
variable set to an unrecognized tool then git mergetool will query the
mergetool.<tool>.cmd config variable. If this variable exists, then git
mergetool will treat the specified tool as a custom command and will use
a shell eval to run the command with the documented shell variables set.
mergetool.<tool>.trustExitCode can be used to indicate that the exit
code of the custom command can be used to determine the success of the
merge.
