doc: generate a list of valid merge tools

davvid · gitster · commit f35ec546008e · 2013-02-02T21:46:52.000-08:00
Use the show_tool_names() function to build lists of all
the built-in tools supported by difftool and mergetool.
This frees us from needing to update the documentation
whenever a new tool is added.
