  1. an environment variable, GIT_PRIMER. E.g., "GIT_PRIMER=0 git diff".
     This strikes me as hack-ish and unfriendly, but would work.

FWIW I cannot stop to hate the term "primer" for this thing.

Yes, I also hate the name. I have been using it in the discussion for
lack of a better term, but I really dislike it, as well. I think
"diff.defaults" makes sense, but maybe something that suggests it is
about command line options would be better.

Why not spell it out?  diff.defaultOptions
