Please describe exactly what actions triggered the bug
and the precise symptoms of the bug:

I opened etc/spook.lines in the Emacs Git tree, typed C-x v l, put point
on one revision and typed d to see the diff.  The result was just:

Binary files a/etc/spook.lines and b/etc/spook.lines differ

I then added "-a" to vc-diff-switches, but this had no effect.

I then found that vc-git-diff doesn't obey _any_ of diff-switches,
vc-diff-switches and vc-git-diff-switches, though the docstring of
vc-diff-switches implies that it would.
