Well, you could provide a Minimal, Complete and Verifiable Example (http://stackoverflow.com/help/mcve): most likely, the error depends on particular features of your current HEAD, or environment variables. Because i do *not* get that error if I run `git difftool -d HEAD~`. So it is not so much about collecting info as about distilling your use case into an example that allows other developers to reproduce the problem, and subsequently fix it.
