I've also wanted to do the same in the past.  The one thing holding me
back was this note from the perldocs:

"If pass_through is also enabled, options processing will terminate at
the first unrecognized option, or non-option, whichever comes first."

http://search.cpan.org/~jv/Getopt-Long-2.38/lib/Getopt/Long.pm

That leads me to believe that using Getopt::Long would break this use case:

    $ git difftool --cached --tool xxdiff ...

According to the docs, it will stop at --cached and leave it (and the
rest) in @ARGV.  When git-diff runs it will see the --tool argument
and bail out.

Is this indeed the case?  I am a little ashamed that the difftool
tests do not cover this area.  That would be a valuable first step
towards exploring this approach, IMO.


BTW, I hate @ARGV parsing loops just as much as anyone!  I was not
ignorant of Getopt::Long, and no, I was not re-inventing the wheel for
no reason.  The reason it was done that way was so that we can forward
everything we don't know about to git-diff.

I haven't tried this patch, but my reading of the documentation leads
me to believe that this is a regression.
