Do we need this constant? I do not think it makes the resulting
code easier to follow.

No need to push the subsequent lines that far to the right,
especially when your variable names are already overly long. It
just makes things harder to read.
if test -r "$GIT_DIFFTOOL_LAST_POSITION" &&
SAVE_POINT_NUM=$(cat "$GIT_DIFFTOOL_LAST_POSITION") &&
test "$SAVE_POINT_NUM" -le "$GIT_DIFF_PATH_TOTAL" &&
test "$SAVE_POINT_NUM" -gt "$GIT_DIFF_PATH_COUNTER"

Where does that "possible" come from? If the reason is "We might
have miscomputed or misrecorded an incorrect last position", we
probably should work harder to make sure we don't ;-)
At this point in the code, do we have the _name_ of the file we are
going to skip to readily available, or do we actually need to seek
to that position before we can find it out?
You were looking at 'hello-world.txt' the last time.
Do you want to restart from there [Y/n]?
would be far easier to answer for an end-user than an unspecified
"possible last file".

Ditto about indentation.
Is this behaviour something we can write a test for in
t/t7800-difftool.sh, by the way?
Other than these, i.e. (cosmetic) indentation and overly long lines
(ui) giving filename is easier to work with for the users and (dev)
lack of tests, looking quite good.
Thanks.
