Your patch does not provide a command line opt_out flag.  Let me describe a 
workflow situation and ask you how to handle it if the user were running your 
patch.  Let diff.defaultOptions = "-b".  The user is getting closer to 
submitting his patch and he wants to see patch output identical to what `git format-patch`
will produce.  What command should he use?

      `git format-patch --stdout master` ?
