Now, it is easy to put a patch on top of my patch to support something 
like --no-defaults.

No, it's not. We went over this in great detail earlier in the thread. 
If you want:

  git diff --no-defaults

then you basically have to parse twice to avoid the chicken-and-egg
problem.

So what?  We parse the config a gazillion times, and there we have to 
access the _disk_.
