    Support new tab opening using D-Bus (closes bgo#616466, bgo#453670) · e08baf62
    Kai Willadsen authored
    The goal of this patch is to support opening new tabs in an existing
    instance from the command line, enabled by passing a new command line
    flag. Communication between instances is enabled by D-Bus.
    
    New tab opening is not the default behaviour, since many VC systems
    launch Meld and block waiting for an exit code to indicate success or
    failure when doing merges, and we can't break this expectation.
    
    This commit introduces an optional dependency on dbus packages.
    
    Based on a patch from Kacper Wysocki and Antoine.
