Should "git mergetool" work to diff a conflicted file?

[DEinspanjer]

I am using BC Version 4.1.9 (build 21719) (pro version) on Mac 10.11.6 with Git git version 2.10.2 (hub version 2.2.9)

I am in a git repo where I tried to do a merge and there was a single file that had a conflict (circle.yml).

When I try to run "git mergetool" or "git mergetool circle.yml", BC comes up, but it shows only a left side file, and the contents in that pane have the conflict markers in it. i.e.:

---
blah
blah
<<<<<<< HEAD
other
other
=======
foo
foo
>>>>>>> master
last
last


Should I be able to use mergetool on this file? Am I running the merge wrong for what I'm trying to do?

Here are my git config settings:

$ git config -l | grep 'diff\|merge'
branch.autosetupmerge=true
alias.up=!git remote update -p; git merge --ff-only @{u}
diff.tool=bc3
merge.tool=bc3
mergetool.bc3=trustExitCode
branch.master.merge=refs/heads/master

::sigh:: nevermind. I tried one more time and it worked. maybe I had an issue with a leftover config, but more likely, I was actually being fooled by the "---" at the top of the file. I thought it was an artifact of the merge conflict, but it was actually a line in the new file!

I seem to be working fine now.

That's good to hear. If you made any edits to the config to help troubleshoot, old settings sometimes stick around until closing any open processes.
