Under windows, diff usually works like windiff - you see
the two versions side by side, with the differences
highlighted by color

git-gui, however gives me a diff where I see a single
stream annotated with + and -

I find the single stream display really obscure, ugly, 
and confusing.

So if I had a file that used to be
        first
        error
        anoth
        more
        again

And it was changed to

        first
        anoth 
        new 
        again

Then the linux tools I have now would display the
changes as
         first
        -error
         anoth
        -more 
        +new
         again

While the windows tools I am used to would display it as
two streams side by side
         first   first
        -error
         anoth   anoth
        -more   +new
         again   again

but with color highlighting instead of + and -

Can I get file changes recorded in git to display the 
way they do in windows?
