-guitool.<name>.cmd::
-	Specifies the shell command line to execute when the corresponding item
-	of the linkgit:git-gui[1] `Tools` menu is invoked. This option is
-	mandatory for every tool. The command is executed from the root of
-	the working directory, and in the environment it receives the name of
-	the tool as `GIT_GUITOOL`, the name of the currently selected file as
-	'FILENAME', and the name of the current branch as 'CUR_BRANCH' (if
-	the head is detached, 'CUR_BRANCH' is empty).
-
-guitool.<name>.needsFile::
-	Run the tool only if a diff is selected in the GUI. It guarantees
-	that 'FILENAME' is not empty.
-
-guitool.<name>.noConsole::
-	Run the command silently, without creating a window to display its
-	output.
-
-guitool.<name>.noRescan::
-	Don't rescan the working directory for changes after the tool
-	finishes execution.
-
-guitool.<name>.confirm::
-	Show a confirmation dialog before actually running the tool.
-
-guitool.<name>.argPrompt::
-	Request a string argument from the user, and pass it to the tool
-	through the `ARGS` environment variable. Since requesting an
-	argument implies confirmation, the 'confirm' option has no effect
-	if this is enabled. If the option is set to 'true', 'yes', or '1',
-	the dialog uses a built-in generic prompt; otherwise the exact
-	value of the variable is used.
-
-guitool.<name>.revPrompt::
-	Request a single valid revision from the user, and set the
-	`REVISION` environment variable. In other aspects this option
-	is similar to 'argPrompt', and can be used together with it.
-
-guitool.<name>.revUnmerged::
-	Show only unmerged branches in the 'revPrompt' subdialog.
-	This is useful for tools similar to merge or rebase, but not
-	for things like checkout or reset.
-
-guitool.<name>.title::
-	Specifies the title to use for the prompt dialog. The default
-	is the tool name.
-
-guitool.<name>.prompt::
-	Specifies the general prompt string to display at the top of
-	the dialog, before subsections for 'argPrompt' and 'revPrompt'.
-	The default value includes the actual command.
