+merge conflicts. It is typically run after linkgit:git-merge[1].
If one or more <file> parameters are given, the merge tool program will
be run to resolve differences on each file. If no <file> names are
-t or --tool=<tool>::
Use the merge resolution program specified by <tool>.
Valid merge tools are:
- kdiff3, tkdiff, meld, xxdiff, emerge, vimdiff, and opendiff
+ kdiff3, tkdiff, meld, xxdiff, emerge, vimdiff, gvimdiff, ecmerge, and opendiff

If a merge resolution program is not specified, 'git mergetool'
will use the configuration variable merge.tool. If the
configuration variable merge.tool is not set, 'git mergetool'
will pick a suitable default.

+You can explicitly provide a full path to the tool by setting the
+configuration variable mergetool.<tool>.path. For example, you
+can configure the absolute path to kdiff3 by setting
+mergetool.kdiff3.path. Otherwise, 'git mergetool' assumes the tool
+is available in PATH.
