I find it confusing that you split vertically, especially if I work in
 small terminals.
I would prefere a horizontal split, thats why I changed it to the way
to the way it is
handled in the svn.vim commit case:

below new

> +    exe 'normal :r!LANG=C cd ..; git diff HEAD -- ' . list_of_files . " \| git apply --stat\no\<esc>1GddO\<esc>"

Why changing directory? I had to remove the cd .. to make it work. Otherwise
git diff couldn't find the repository.
