[PATCH v2 1/3] Demonstrate a bug in --word-diff where diff.*.wordregex is "sticky"

From: Johannes Sixt <j6t@kdbg.org>

The test case applies a custom wordRegex to one file in a diff, and expects that the default word splitting applies to the second file in the diff. But the custom wordRegex is also incorrectly used for the second file.

[tr: unset the diff.wordRegex variable to make the test meaningful]

Compared to your version, I added the first hunk. Otherwise the diff.wordRegex=[[:alnum:]]+ setting carries over and makes the test fail even with the bug fixed.

I deliberately put it as early as possible, rather than into the setup for your test, to avoid confusion next time someone patches that file.
