I was able to make the following 2 aliases, which work perfectly
except for one problem...

ldiff = "!git diff `git rev-list --reverse -n 2 HEAD -- $1` -- $1"
ldifft = "!git difftool `git rev-list --reverse -n 2 HEAD -- $1` -- $1"

The problem is the limitation that shell commands are always executed
at the top-level directory of the repository.

Hmmm, it'd be cool if git exported an environment variable containing
the CWD when it invoked external aliases like this...!

Yeah, something like GIT_PREFIX environment variable, I guess.
