Which is the best Visual SVN Diff displayer for Linux.

BeyondCompare and VisualSVN1.5 work well on Windows. What are the equivallent tools for Linux. Specifically Ubuntu.

I know command line diff works; But I'd like multiple column syntax highlighted and differences.

Better if the tool has a support for Git and Hg as well.
