The first two lines of meta-info will be in the stock colors, but
everything after will be in the custom colors. So we are actually
reading the diff_ui options _during_ the diff. The culprit is
funcname_pattern, which calls read_config_if_needed.

Yuck.  Why is funcname_pattern do ui-config stuff?  I know it
wants to get custom regexp crap, but that should belong to the
plumbing part, not Porcelain-only thing, shouldn't it?

It's for user diff drivers, and it looks like the funcname pattern. Not
sure why we want to demand-load that stuff at all...I wonder if it
should just go into git_default_config (or a git_basic_diff_config).
