Am I right in assuming that by "script" you mean a manuscript consisting
of several files, rather than a single script (programme in scripting
language)? In any case:

git diff commit1 commit2 file

gives you the diff for "file" between those commits, so if you're really
interested in one file that's the way to go; you can also specify more
than one file here.

On the other hand, your .gitignore probably doesn't change that often,
so that it shouldn't show up in the diff after that anyways. Or put it
in .git/info/excludes.

Cheers,
Michael
