I think you're looking for these options, settable in puppet.conf:

    # Which arguments to pass to the diff command when printing
differences between
    # files. The command to use can be chosen with the `diff` setting.
    # The default value is '-u'.
    # diff_args = -u

    # Which diff command to use when printing differences between
files. This setting
    # has no default value on Windows, as standard `diff` is not
available, but Puppet can use many
    # third-party diff tools.
    # The default value is 'diff'.
    # diff = diff

    # Whether to log and report a contextual diff when files are being
replaced.  This causes
    # partial file contents to pass through Puppet's normal logging
and reporting system, so this setting
    # should be used with caution if you are sending Puppet's reports
to an insecure destination.
    # This feature currently requires the `diff/lcs` Ruby library.
    # show_diff = false
