I know it's not much help to you right now, but when I first asked  
about a side-by-side diff viewer back in September I explored creating  
a wrapper using GIT_EXTERNAL_DIFF and was basically unsatisfied with  
the results.

So I decided to write a very simple native Cocoa app (I'm working on  
Mac OS X); it was to be a diff viewer and nothing more (not a  
repository browser). I was able to spend a few hours on it back in  
September but then other things came up so I haven't been able to  
finish it, but I do intend to come back to it when time permits. You  
can browse the work in progress at:

<http://git.wincent.com/gdiff.git>

Basically consists of a fast Ragel-generated state machine for parsing  
git-diff output, patches and email messages, and the beginnings of a  
UI. But like I said, not much help to you right now as it can't yet be  
used to do anything useful. My goal for it is to provide a nice  
experience, above all when reviewing patches on a mailing list (ie.  
where your local repository doesn't have the proposed commits in it  
yet). In fact, even when run from outside of any Git repo I want it to  
at least show the known parts of the files (the context) and provide a  
shaded background for the unknown bits.

Cheers,
Wincent
