+With got_sdiff.sh I provide a simple way to use your preferred diff tool inside got. 
+
+In other words got_sdiff.sh call your preferred diff tool with the current file present in your project folder and his equivalent in the rpository. 
+The script put the content of the file present in the repository in a temporary file in /tmp and trigger the diff tool with the current file present in the project tree and this temporary one. 
+
+We should not have security issues because the temporary file is only visible by you and removed at the exit of the script. Even is the script abend. 
+
+In this version, I'm using meld as comparatif tool, but you can add the one you prefer by adapting the associated line in the script. 
+
+You could says that got_sdiff is a "got separated diff" or "got special diff", ... it's just an alternative to the standard diff ;)
