Thanks, this version looks good to me.

Oh wait. I did not look closely enough. The point was to move the option
parser _out_ of git_diff_ui_config into git_diff_basic_config, so that
it only triggers for porcelain, not plumbing.

Oh no, I am having a muddled morning. It _is_ right. We want to move it
out of basic into ui. Sorry for the noise. I just woke up and am
thinking backwards.

It may be worth squashing this test into patch 3:

BTW, while writing the test, I noticed two minor nits with your tests:

  1. They can use test_config, which is simpler (you do not need to
     unset yourself after the test) and safer (the unset happens via
     test_when_finished, so it works even if the test fails).

  2. You can still indent expected output when using <<-.

I don't know if it is worth re-rolling for them.
