In-Reply-To: <pull.172.git.1575637705.gitgitgadget@gmail.com>

From: Johannes Schindelin <johannes.schindelin@gmx.de>

Without this patch, there is actually no test in Git's test suite that covers the diff.algorithm feature. Let's add one.

We do this by passing a bogus value and then expecting `git diff-files` to produce the appropriate error message.
