Just started using Octosplit and I have to say it's really nice.

It is a little slow though on really big diffs, I tested it on a 
recent pull of mine to druntime (>2500 lines changed) it takes a 
few seconds for the tick box to appear, then the page hangs for a 
few more seconds once I click it.

Stil, hardly long to wait in the general scheme of things, 
especially compared to opening some applications.
