Do you have git's diff.mnemonicprefix set to a true value?  If so, this 
is likely the same problem as in 

https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=663050

A patch to fix the problem is attached to that bug report.  If that 
isn't the problem, it may help to send the output of 

git diff --relative HEAD somefile.txt | head -n 5
