I don't think that this is what you are asking about, but it's a neat 
trick anyway :-).

To permanently exclude files from git diff, set up a custom diff driver 
in ~/.gitconfig:

[diff "nodiff"]
    command = /bin/true

and then mention the files that should use this driver in 
.git/info/attributes:

.gitignore diff=nodiff
