Hey Chris, hey René,

thanks a lot for your replys.

Yes, that works indeed. However, in my certain use-case I would prefer using `git diff`.

Yes, that is exactly how it worked before. And all the other syntaxes still work correctly.

René, I saw you submitted some patches already, but these weren't approved obviously. So how does this continue now?
