It looks like your mailer is corrupting tabs and converting them into spaces. See the "Discussion" section of git-format-patch(1) for hints on checking a patch by mailing it to yourself and applying with git-am(1). > +diff.orderfile:: > + Path to file to use for ordering the files in the diff, each line > + is a shell glob pattern; equivalent to the 'git diff' option '-O'. Nits: * "Path to" could be left out, since a path is the only way to specify a file :) * Comma splice. * What happens if both [diff] orderfile and the -O option are used? How about something like the following? diff.orderfile:: File indicating how to order files within a diff, using one shell glob pattern per line. Can be overridden by the '-O' option to linkgit:git-diff[1]. Should the git-diff(1) manpage get a note about this setting as well (perhaps in a new CONFIGURATION section)?

If a caller wants to parse diff config and also wants to make a diff without using the config (the example I'm imagining is an alternative implemention fo "git log -p --cherry-pick"), can they do that? It's tempting to move handling of configuration into a separate function.
