If you alter the RunShellCommand() function to the following -

  function! s:RunShellCommand(cmdline)
      botright new
      setlocal buftype=nofile bufhidden=wipe nobuflisted noswapfile
      setlocal nowrap
      if stridx(a:cmdline, "diff") > 0
          set filetype=diff
      endif
      execute 'silent 0read !'.escape(a:cmdline,'%#')
      setlocal nomodifiable
      1
  endfunction

Then Vim will apply diff syntax highlighting to the scratch buffer
when a "diff" command is executed.

For example:

  :Git diff
  :Git diff --cached

etc..
