Maybe a scripted version?  For just 'git diff .', this should work:

  git diff $(git ls-files . | grep -v /)

That will still do the wrong thing if you diff against an older commit
with a different list of files.  In that case you need the list of
files in the other side of the diff too:

  git diff HEAD^..  -- $(git ls-files . | grep -v /; git ls-tree HEAD^ | cut -f2)
