mergetools/meld: improve compatibiilty with Meld on macOS X

davvid · gitster · commit 0af85f84bd6d · 2017-06-18T22:11:29.000-07:00
The macOS X fork of Meld[1] requires a "=" in the "--output" argument, as it uses a wrapper[2] script that munges the "--output" argument before calling into the common "meld" script. The macOS X wrapper script[2] accepts "--output=<filename>" only, despite the fact that the underlying meld code accepts both "--output <filename" and "--output=<filename>"[3]. All versions of meld which accept "--output" accept it in the "--output=<filename>" form, so use "--output=<file>" for maximum compatibility.
