Re: difftool -d symlinks, under what conditions

An alternative approach would be to reuse git-diff's option parsing
and make it tell git-difftool when git-diff sees the working tree
case. At this point, I haven't seen an obvious place in the source
where git-diff makes that choice, but if someone could point me in the
right direction, I think I'd actually prefer that approach. What do
you think?

I do not think you want to go there.  That wouldn't solve the third
case in my previous message, no?
