I'm not sure what you mean by this. The diff will include everything that is in the unpacked source that isn't in the tarball. Check out the -i options to dpkg-buildpackage and dpkg-source. Calling dpkg-buildpackage -S -rfakeroot -i.git should exclude the .git directories as you require. There is also git-buildpackage, but I have heard people say that this doesn't support their way of working, so I am not sure how it will suit you.
