[PATCH] Implement (l)aunch an external merge tool

From: Augie Fackler <durin42_at_gmail.com>
Date: 2007-09-20 03:32:33 CEST

Greetings all,

I've implemented launching of an external merge tool in the svn
binary. Unfortunately, my inspection of the world indicates that
there is no standard interface for merge tools, so I ended up
borrowing Mercurial's hgmerge shell script and modifying it to work
with the interface I devised.

Right now, the patch assumes the external merge tool accepts 4
arguments in the following order:
base left right merged
where merged is the destination for the file the merge tool will save
out. This reflects our tempfile model really well, but isn't how some
merge tools work (some merge tools seem to want to put the merge in
either base or right, which offends me on some level). I can provide
a script that wraps Apple's FileMerge tool if anyone is interested -
I'm hoping to finish patching up hgmerge to be svn_merge_helper that
will automagically pick the right choice from several options.

Note that I've got a couple of nitpicks of my own against this patch:
1) I use getwd() - is there some APR/Subversion function I can use
for this? I couldn't find anything, and this seems to work just fine.
2) It seems that there should be more ways to set the tool than
$SVNMERGE - probably a config variable. What's the procedure for
adding one? I'd love to go ahead and add that too.

(In the process of doing this, I found a couple of bugs and UI
nitpicks in other places - patches will follow soon, school
permitting (exam tomorrow, this is me procrastinating studying))

Peace,
Augie Fackler
