 git-diffall \- Use a visual diff tool to show all differences
 
 .SH SYNOPSIS
-\fBgit-diffall\fR [\fIPRE\fR] [\fIPOST\fR]

 .SH "DESCRIPTION"
 
 .PP
-\fBgit-diffall\fR performs a visual diff using kdiff3 between PRE and POST
-of the current project.  No arguments will show the differences between the
-working directory and HEAD.  Later this tool can be improved upon to use the
-tool listed in the config file (difftool), or if none present fall back to
-a 'normal' git diff.
+\fBgit-diffall\fR performs a diff using the configured diff.tool or merge.tool.
+
+    --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.
+
+Thanks to Tim Henigan <tim.henigan@gmail.com> who created a newer version now
+released with git contribs.
