The really cool thing in comparison with GIT_EXTERNAL_DIFF is that one gets all the cool things of "git diff" (colors & cie) for free. I had already posted a prototype of this a long time back[1], but I finally got time to clean up the code a bit. http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/56896
