`git diff` for annexed files, especially unlocked annexed files, is currently uninformative. It would help if [[`git-annex-init`|git-annex-init]] configured a [git diff driver](https://git-scm.com/docs/gitattributes#_generating_diff_text) to diff the contents of the annexed files, rather than the pointer files. `git diff` for annexed files, especially unlocked annexed files, is currently uninformative.

Normally annexed files are huge binary files. Line-by-line diff of such
files is unlikely to be useful.
So you would need some domain-specific diff for the kind of binary files
you are storing in git-annex. If you have one, you can use
[[git-annex-diffdriver]] to make git use it when diffing annexed files.
Not seeing anything more I can do here, so I'm going to close this todo.
