Hmm, perhaps, but is "do we prompt to give a chance to the user to say 'no, I am not interested in running the tool to that path'" the only interactivity in the overall end-user experience in using the mergetool? To end-users, both interaction with the mergetool front-end and interaction with individual back-end taken together would comprise the whole end-user experience, so "--interactive" option that is implied by "-i" short-cut may make them expect a behaviour from the backend that is more interactive than without, which would not be the case, so.... -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
