Description
I am running tests at my machine and test_binary_diff() fails with following error:
repo = pygit2.Repository('/tmp/pytest/test_binary_diff0/binaryfilerepo/.git/')
def test_binary_diff(repo):
diff = repo.diff('HEAD', 'HEAD^')
assert PATCH_BINARY == diff.patch
diff = repo.diff('HEAD', 'HEAD^', flags=DiffOption.SHOW_BINARY)
> assert PATCH_BINARY_SHOW == diff.patch
E AssertionError: assert 'diff --git a...vrst3ey5{\n\n' == 'diff --git a...vrst3ey5{\n\n'

Research direction
Start by running test_binary_diff() and compare the generated SHOW_BINARY diff with PATCH_BINARY_SHOW, focusing on the differing binary content shown in the assertion. Trace the repository diff call and its binary-output behavior; the work is done when the test produces the expected stable patch output.
