USAGE='[--cached] [--copy-back] [-x|--extcmd=<command>] <commit>{0,2} [-- <path>*]

    --cached     Compare to the index rather than the working tree.

    --copy-back  Copy files back to the working tree when the diff
                 tool exits (in case they were modified by the
                 user).  This option is only valid if the diff
                 compared with the working tree.

    -x=<command>
    --extcmd=<command>  Specify a custom command for viewing diffs.
                 git-diffall ignores the configured defaults and
                 runs $command $LOCAL $REMOTE when this option is
                 specified. Additionally, $BASE is set in the
                 environment.
