* external diff and textconv helpers are now executed using the shell.
This makes them consistent with other programs executed by git, and
allows you to pass command-line parameters to the helpers. Any helper

environment, and diff.*.command and diff.*.textconv in the config
file.

Updates since v1.6.6
