Hi
I am using beyond compare, but it does not really matter which one
because even I create a dummy script as a external diff program, it
will not get called ever. Only internal diff is started.
Re-installing git will not remove the problem. I am using the latest git
Any hints how I can debug git difftool?

Any chance you can come up with an MCVE [*1*] using a dummy script?

Sure. First hint: set GIT_TRACE=1. Next hint: difftool is a shell script,
so you can modify it, say, by inserting a `set -x` which will trace the
commands that are called.
Ciao,
Johannes
