I wonder for what reason rebase--interactive generates a patch using 'git diff' in the make_patch function. Is this an artefact?

I'd like to get rid of this use of 'git diff' because it invokes external diff drivers, which is totally unwanted if the driver is interactive - like the 'windiff' thing that I posted a week ago.
