Subject: [PATCH v2 11/14] difftool: add support for a difftool.prompt config variable

From: David Aguilar <[email-masked]>
Date: Tue, 7 Apr 2009 01:21:22 -0700

difftool now supports difftool.prompt so that users do not have to
pass --no-prompt or hit enter each time a diff tool is launched.
The --prompt flag overrides the configuration variable.

Signed-off-by: David Aguilar <[email-masked]>

This one had to be resent since rewriting #9 would
have caused a conflict in here.
