User git config such as diff.mnemonicPrefix, diff.noprefix, custom src/dst prefixes, color.ui=always, or diff.external changes the output of `git diff` so the parser's `diff --git a/… b/…` header no longer matches, resulting in an empty diff. Force a standard, parseable format by passing --no-color, --no-ext-diff and --src-prefix=a/ --dst-prefix=b/ to all diff-producing invocations.
