Description argonel 2008-12-02 10:40:24 UTC
Version:           0.9.92 (using KDE 3.5.9)
Compiler:          gcc (Debian 4.3.2-1) 4.3.2 
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Debian testing/unstable Packages

I tried adding it to the list of "Command line options to ignore" as I could find no other way to disable this option.

`git-mergetool` version  calls kdiff3 like this:

kdiff3 --auto --L1 "$MERGED (Base)" --L2 "$MERGED (Local)" --L3 "$MERGED (Remote)" -o "$MERGED" -- "$BASE" "$LOCAL" "$REMOTE" > /dev/null 2>&1

While it is possible to add a config setting, it may also be useful to allow supported options to be ignored.

It is now possible to build kdiff3 without the --auto option. Would still be nice to be able to filter it out.

Add --noauto option

Implement feature request for disabling --auto  as git is hard coded to pass this.
