I'm not sure what you want. If you put the output of git diff into an
Emacs buffer, and put the buffer into diff-mode, Emacs probably has the
functions you want.
It sounds like you want to give Emacs' C-x ! a git-diff command, and
then have C-x ` step through the diff hunks as if they are errors in a
compilation. The Emacs documentation says
C-x ` normally uses the most recently started
compilation, grep, or occur buffer. It can also operate on any
buffer with output from the C-x !, M-x grep commands, or,
more generally, on any buffer in Compilation mode or with
Compilation Minor mode enabled, or any buffer in which
`next-error-function' is bound to an appropriate function.
To specify use of a particular buffer for error messages, type
C-x ` in that buffer when it is the only one displayed
in the current frame.
So if you can arrange for your git-diff output to go into a buffer, set
the buffer into diff-mode and route next-error-function to execute
diff-hunk-next, you can probably get that functionality.
