The 'Git->repository->command*' functions all override the
$GIT_WORK_TREE set by the user on the command line with 'pwd'.  They
also override the 'core.worktree' setting, if it is used.

So without this change, the following fails:

  $ GIT_DIR=<dir> GIT_WORK_TREE=<dir> git difftool -d

Would the following change be better?

-     my $cmd = "git diff --raw --no-abbrev -z " . join(" ", @ARGV);
+     my $cmd = "git diff --raw --no-abbrev -z @ARGV";
