Pass --no-textconv when running git diff internally

Seems that --no-ext-diff and -c diff.external= are not enough to disable
external diff command when gitattributes textconv specifies it.

I'm pretty sure that --no-ext-diff and -c diff.external= are not both
needed, but not 100%. Something about -G may need the latter to fully
disable diffs in some cases. So kept that part as it was.

### Have you had any luck using git-annex before? (Sometimes we get tired of reading bug reports all day and a lil' positive end note does wonders)
Git-annex is amazing. I use it daily. A lot of science is made possible by this tool.

Hmm, it seems to me that when git-annex runs git diff, it passes
--no-ext-diff, which ought to disable any external diff drivers.
Ah, so this is really about the .gitattributes textconv,
which enables the same thing in a different way that
the other option doesn't disable.
Ok, I'll add --no-textconv as well.
