Bug Description
External diff unconditionally puts --binary on the command line, which is a GNU diff extension not necessarily present on other diff(1) implementations. It seems to have been added in r1711.2.56, but the commit log is silent on why.

This breaks macos (ventura at least) because apple provides its own diff:
bash-3.2$ diff --version
Apple diff (based on FreeBSD diff)
... which doesn't support --binary ... sighs
Is there any known workaround ?
Breezy doesn't have an internal diff anymore ?
