I originally used splice here then for some reason decided that just
appending the option was okay (I think I thought we were already
appending an option with $patch_mode_revision).
The patch below involves deeper Perl magic than I fully grok, but
wouldn't it be simpler to simply use the fact that the string is
"command --options..." and use:
splice @diff_cmd 1, 0, "--diff-algorithm=${diff_algorithm}";
