Use local difftool/mergetool when connected to remote ssh repo #1082

Issue Type: Feature Request

I'm using VS code on a windows local machine and connected to a remote linux machine. Both machines have git installed and my windows machine's git is setup to use beyond compare 4 as the difftool and mergetool. I have tested these to be working locally with a "git difftool" command.

In VS code, when I right click on a changed file and select "Open Changes (with difftool)" , nothing happens.

If I set logging to debug, I can see that its trying to run the difftool on the remote server, which is not desired in my case.

Can you add an option to allow the difftool to be run on the local machine?
