Thanks David, understood and updated to 'HEAD'. 'head' had worked for me with my 
sloppy Windows ways ;)

I struggled with your previous suggestion for handling paths with spaces; 
I couldn't get the for-loop to split the input into individual filenames
on the line-break separator (after outer quotes expanded the result?).

But rewriting it this way seems to work well and handles spaces (Windows):

    git diff --name-only "$@" | while read filename; do
        git difftool "$@" --no-prompt "$filename" &
    done

Hope you can comment on this variation? 
And thanks for all the tips! Seba
