Re: git diff vs git diff-files

Whatever you do next, *please* post the *exact* file contents *and*
output in a format that does not suffer any transport damage, neither to
whitespace nor to binary data (such as terminal escapes).  Piping
through xxd comes to mind, perhaps by using

  GIT_PAGER=xxd git -p diff ....  >diff-hexdump

etc. to ensure that git takes the same code paths as when writing to
less.

Or use script(1).
