In general I absolutely like the idea. There are however problems you can encounter. I use vimdiff for git-difftool and gvimdiff for gitk. When testing gitk with your patch, I wondered where the editor is, because nothing popped up. I then found vim on the terminal from where I started gitk. Even worse: when started with "gitk &", the vim process runs somewhere in the background and gitk freezes. To overcome this problem maybe we need a second config variable like diff.guitool.
