I think it would be really helpful (especially for newbies like me) to have an option like

git diff --gui [revisions] <singe path spec>
to fire up a graphical diff viewer (similar to what git-mergetool does).

Another good place to start a graphical diff from is probably gitk from a context-menu for the changed files in the lower right pane.

Thoughts?
