Hi,

I have a large file and I want to view the changes between two commits, but in the context of the whole file, not just hunks. How can I do that?

Thanks Ittay

In git.git's contrib/difftool directory there's a script called 'git-difftool' that can show you changes using our good friends xxdiff, kdiff3, tkdiff, meld, vimdiff, emerge, etc.
