Use git and gitattributes for show diff in binary files

Created by: JohnBat26

Hello. I'd like to see diff between binary files in web interface of gitlab. I set up several useful utilities and created file gitattributes with next content:

*.doc diff=catdoc
*.xls diff=xls2csv
*.xlsx diff=xlsx
*.docx diff=pandoc
*.pdf diff=pdf2txt
*.odt diff=odt2txt
*.ods diff=odt2txt
*.odp diff=odt2txt
*.png diff=exif
*.jpg diff=exif
*.gif diff=exif

But, how I understood, Gitlab use Diffy gem for this goal. Can Gitlab use git diff with gitattributes for binary files?
