The typical Un*x way to handle this is to write a script to do the
work. Certainly you can get a script to run a bunch of things and
wait for them all to finish, e.g.,
#! /bin/sh
prog1 &
prog2 &
prog3 &
wait
And then you tell Git to use your script to do comparisons.
Is there a way to get what you want with a script?
