'git difftool to give directory compare?

Is it possible to get the git difftool command to open a directory compare between the changed files and the staging/checked files?

So ideally, if 2 files have changed, they would be the only 2 shown, but within a directory compare.

I've read posts about getting git to give all file diffs in parallel, so tools like BeyondCompare has all the diffs in tabs, but im not happy with that!

One could pull a copy of the changed files from staging/checked in files into a temp folder, and then open that up. Is that the only option?

I always use --dirstat=files:

rudie@devver:virenze$ git diff --dirstat=files
   4.1% modules/custom/virenze_conversations/
   7.0% modules/custom/virenze_crs/
   8.3% modules/custom/

which means I've removed dirs virenze_conversations and virenze_crs in custom. (I don't know what the percentages mean...)

You can probably use all the normal diff options: --cached, branch name etc.
