Hmm... in theory, yes, but in practice, no. xxdiff is too gimp to handle what 'git diff' hands it =)
As done with "vimdiff" in another message, simply write a one-liner wrapper script that calls xxdiff $2 $3, and call this wrapper script. -- Matthieu

This works with GUI tools, but not with console tools. GVim works, Vim
doesn't.
And invoking
git difftool
is by far more convenient than
GIT_EXTERNAL_DIFF=vimdiff git diff
