How can I get full filenames from Git difftool (for Microsoft Word “Compare Documents” feature)?

I am using the latest version of Git (1.6.6) on a Mac. My wife wants
to use Git to manage her fiction writing as long as she can still use
Microsoft Word 2008 (Mac). Instead of pushing her into saving
everything as plain text, I would like to use Git Difftool to pass the
files to Word and use Word's Compare Documents feature. She wouldn't
be able to use Git Diff since Word docs are binary files but she could
still use Git Difftool.

I have written an Applescript which takes two filenames in this
format: /Users/foo/Documents/my_novel.docx and opens Word to do the
file comparison. However, Git Difftool seems to only pass the bare
filenames (e.g. my_novel.docx) as parameters.

Is there anyway to get the full filenames from Git Difftool?

Thanks,

Doug Ireton
