Re: [PATCH] difftool: Fix '--gui' when diff.guitool is unconfigured

From: Junio C Hamano <hidden>
Date: 2016-06-15 22:48:30

David Aguilar [off-list ref] writes:
When diff.guitool is unconfigured and "--gui" is specified
git-difftool dies with the following error message:

	config diff.guitool: command returned error: 1

Catch the error so that the "--gui" flag is a no-op when
diff.guitool is unconfigured.

Signed-off-by: David Aguilar <redacted>
Makes sense; thanks.

This is probably 'maint' material.
