Message-ID: <20170102233114.20778-1-vegard.nossum@oracle.com>
URL: https://gitlist.dev/e/20170102233114.20778-1-vegard.nossum%40oracle.com

```
The --inter-hunk-context= option was added in commit 6d0e674a5754
("diff: add option to show context between close hunks"). This patch
allows configuring a default for this option.

Seems good. But I think you have missed adding the documentation of
this to Documentation/diff-config.txt . Generally whatever config
variable one adds, is added to Documentation/config.txt but in this
case, there exists a separate Documentation/diff-config.txt for all
"diff" related things which is included in Documentation/config.txt .
Also, you need to link the link both the parts of this documentation.
Please refer to commit id aaab84203 so as to know what I am talking
about.

On a first look, it seems that we can overwrite the default config
values by using a different command line argument which is good.

Also, tests are missing. It seems that t/t4032 might be a good place
to add those tests.

Rest all is quite good! :)

Do not explicitly initialize BSS variables to 0 (or NULL).

Will this receive -1 if diff.interhunkcontext configuration variable
is misconfigured and the *_default variable receives the error return
value from git_config_int()?
