Hi,

many diff / merge tool around have the ability to compare a directory 
tree (meld is one, but there are many).

Is there a way to start a difftool or a mergetool on a folder instead of 
the single file?

It would be an handsome feature to git.

I googled a little before popping out this question and I only found 
suggestion on how to open "many" file at once instead of opening them 
serially but that's not the same thing not as powerful as directory 
comparison.

Thanks,
Daniele
