How exciting.

Something should definitely be done about this. Sometimes dgit runs
`git diff` for the benefit of the user in which case it should
probably respect this setting.
Maybe some of the `git diff` calls should be some more plumbingy
command. There might be other things you could write in your git
config which would affect generated patches, and we ought to override
(or ignore) those too.
