I have just pushed a patch to let qgit support external diff viewers. Git repo is

http://digilander.libero.it/mcostalba/scm/qgit.git
This is how it works:
>From menu View->'External diff' it is possible to invoke an external

diff viewer, as example to view the diffs in a two vertical tiled windows.

External diff viewer shows the diffs between two files. First file is the current selected file of current revision. Second file is the same file of the parent revision or of a specific revision if "diff to selected sha" feature is enabled (CTRL + RIGHT CLICK on chosen revision with *internal* diff viewer window open).

Default external viewer is kompare, but it is possible to set a preferred one from Edit->Settings->External Diff Viewer.

I don't think the feature is already release ready, so I just pushed the patch in git repo for interested people.

Feedback/comments /bugs or something to change or improve before to release?

Thanks Marco
