   I get the same result.

   Sure.  You just have to be able to understand the doc.

That is easy to verify, and you should be able to do

   HOME=/tmp git diff

and see if the behaviour still is the same (if it doesn't work, just
running as a different user should).  If it isn't, it is a
configuraiton setting that you have done -- reading the git-config man
page would be the next action to see where such a setting is set.
