When I do `git diff` sometimes I get this:


...skipping...

...skipping...

.... it goes on like this for about 10 times the length. Looks like this 
happens exclusively when I use git diff with a github remote that is at 
the same commit. I will update if I find any other case where this happens.

Any chance you can tell us what repo this happens on? + git version,
OS, and what the triggering diff invocation is.
