I've come up with a simple script that diffs the files in a background task:

  for name in $(git diff --name-only $1); do git difftool $1 $name & done

Then aliased the script for usage:

  git diffall [--staged]

Being a bash newbie, I'd appreciate any feedback on what seems to be 
a simple solution...??
