Simple Image Diff for Git
#!/usr/bin/env python
# Simple Image Diffs
# ==================
#
# How to Install
# --------------
#
# Download the script somewhere on $PATH as 'simple-imagediff' with +x:
#
# $ cd ~/bin
# $ wget -O simple-imagediff https://raw.github.com/gist/1716699/simple-imagediff.py
# $ chmod +x simple-imagediff
#
# Prerequisites
# -------------
#
# The script should work out-of-the box on Ubuntu 11.10. On other OS'es you may
# need to install PIL and Gtk3.
#
# Git Setup
# ---------
#
# In ~/.gitconfig, add:
#
# [diff "image"]
# command = simple-imagediff
#
# In your project, create .gitattributes file and add (this enables the custom
# diff tool above):
#
# *.gif diff=image
# *.jpg diff=image
# *.png diff=image
#
# Try It
# ------
#
# $ git diff path/to/file.png
#
# NOTE: file.png must be versioned and the working copy must be different.

Apparently https://github.com/StanAngeloff/dotfiles/blob/master/bin/simple-imagediff is a slightly improved version of this
