Don't bother. There are a thousand ways of getting git to give you a diff.
See e.g. here for tips:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4610744/can-i-get-a-patch-compatible-output-from-git-diff
What is patch not doing that you want? It should be able to handle git diff
output if you pass the magic -p option or modify the resulting diff a bit.
