And of course.. don't forget about git-difftool =)
http://kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/docs/git-difftool.html

	$ git difftool -t kompare
	$ git difftool -t diffuse
	$ git difftool -t xxdiff

The quality of the visualization is only limited by the quality
of your difftool.  We support lots of them.  From the docs:

"Valid merge toosl are: kdiff3, kompare, tkdiff, meld,
xxdiff, emerge, vimdiff, gvimdiff, ecmerge, diffuse,
opendiff and araxis."

Like mergetool, difftool has an extension mechanism in case the
built-ins are not sufficient.


Have fun,
