No, it is not. Without user configuration, git-difftool takes a guess
from a large list of possible tools, taking into account what is
available, whether you have a DISPLAY, what desktop you use and whether
your VISUAL/EDITOR setting shows that you like vim. On a system with
kdiff3 and without meld and opendiff (or within kde and without
opendiff) that results in kdiff3.

Well, you can get it in epel now/soon or in rhel 7. Having it in epel 6
may actually help getting it into rhel 7.
