Diff parser fails with binary files in git diff output

[rtrv]

We use the gem and it started to fail CI after addition of some PDF files. Is there a way to exclude files or better file types by configuration before diff parser does its matching logic?

The simple workaround could be to add excluded_files option and use it inside git_diff(options) like:

args << "-- . #{options.excluded_files.map { |file| ":(exclude)#{file}" }.join(' ')}"
