It seems like there's a bug involving git difftool's -d flag and Beyond Compare.

When using the difftool Beyond Compare, git difftool <..> <..> -d immidiatly shuts down once the diff tree has been created. Beyond Compare successfully shows the files that differ. However, since git difftool doesn't wait for Beyond Compare to shut down, all temporary files are gone. Due to this it's impossible to view changes made inside files using the -d flag.

I haven't tested if this issue also happens with other difftools.

I'm using the latest versions of both Beyond Compare 3 (3.3.12, Pro Edition for Windows) and Git (1.9.4 for Windows).

Thanks in advance for your help!
