Answer 1

For Windows 7 (or even other versions of windows), add these lines in the .gitconfig file.

[diff]
    tool = meld
[merge]
    tool = meld
[difftool "meld"]
    path = C:/Program Files (x86)/Meld/meld.exe
[mergetool "meld"]
    path = C:/Program Files (x86)/Meld/meld.exe

Note that there is no need to use " for the path even if it includes spaces. Just remember to use forward slashes instead of backward slashes.
