Vimdiff and git all at once

You could use the vim plugins published here. Then you just need to set the difftool:

[multidiff]
  tool = vd -f

As an alternative application I would suggest meld, which will show you modified files - you can then select just the files who's diffs you want to see.

See the screenshot here for an example.

Further to Marcos useful comment, as a third (manual alternative) if you want to use vimdiff I would recommend following meld's strategy in a script (possibly python):

• use git diff-files --name-status and git diff-index --name-status --cached HEAD to identify files that need to be examined.
• Get cached versions of these files and place in /tmp/
• Open all of these files - the changed files and their cached versions - at once in vimdiff - though most likely not possible in the sense that you require- see below.

However, as vimdiff itself doesn't seem to handle multiple diff tabs natively I recommend one of my other suggestions above.

A quite simple workaround is to add this option in your ~/.gitconfig file

[difftool]
    tool = vimdiff $LOCAL $REMOTE
    prompt = true

That way before each file comparison, you are prompted and have the possibility to skip a file by answering 'no' or abort the file comparison with Ctrl+C

Example:

$ git difftool
Viewing: 'file1.js'
Launch 'vimdiff' [Y/n]: y
2 files to edit

Viewing: 'file2.js'
Launch 'vimdiff' [Y/n]: n

This is what I use. It requires that you use vim-fugitive

[alias] dt = "!f() { vim -p $(git diff --name-only) +\"tabdo Gdiff $@\" +tabfirst; }; f"

git dt will then open each diff pair in a separate tab. Then :tabclose to close a single pair, or :qa to exit.
