pass configures GPG to diff .gpg files using GPG - if your passphrase is 
available, it will happen transparently.

>From .password-store/.git/config:

```
[diff "gpg"]
        binary = true
        textconv = gpg2 -d --quiet --yes --compress-algo=none --batch --use-agent
```

This is set up by `cmd_git()` in the pass script.
