[PATCH 3/3] difftool: Use eval to expand '--extcmd' expressions

From: David Aguilar <hidden>
Date: 2016-06-15 22:48:01
Subsystem: the rest · Maintainer: Linus Torvalds

It was not possible to pass quoted commands to '--extcmd'.
By using 'eval' we ensure that expressions with spaces and
quotes are supported.
