 DESCRIPTION
 -----------
 'git-difftool' is a git command that allows you to compare and edit files
-between revisions using common merge tools.  At its most basic level,
-'git-difftool' does what 'git-mergetool' does but its use is for non-merge
-situations such as when preparing commits or comparing changes against
-the index.
-
-'git difftool' is a frontend to 'git diff' and accepts the same
-arguments and options.
-
-See linkgit:git-diff[1] for the full list of supported options.
