It could be seen as an abuse of "git --no-index", but it's very
tempting considering many bells and whistles git's diff machinery
provides.
I see that git-diff can be used in place of linux diff for totally
untracked file pairs (which is kind of neat, I guess, if you're partial
to git like I am and would probably prefer to use it as your primary
file-system interface if you could). I assume this new syntax implies
manual usage since scripting this input is less straightforward than
iterating thru a single pair via xargs, etc. In that context, I also
see that git-difftool doesn't bring up kdiff3 (or whatever) but just
does a text diff (git 1.7.1) which is mildly disappointing for mere
mortals like myself who prefer to read side-by-side gui diffs over text
diffS. This, of course, is also preference for someone like me who
wouldn't mind prefixing all of my commands with "git " ;-)
