Thanks for reviving a stalled topic.

Sabotaged in what way?

Double opening parenthesis?

If somebody has diff.orderfile configuration that points at a custom
ordering, and wants to send out a patch (or show a diff) with the
standard order, how would the "overriding" command line look like?
Would it be "git diff -O/dev/null"?

That return looks somewhat strange.  Does it even need to be there?

Makes readers wonder why dq is used here, I think.

All of these "cat" outside the test_expect_* are better be inside
the 'setup' section, I think.  I.e.

	test_expect_success setup '
        	mkdir c &&
                create_files 1 &&
                create_files 2 &&
                cat >order_file_1 <<-\EOF &&
                *Makefile
                *.txt
                *.h
                *
                EOF
                cat >order_file_2 <<-\EOF &&
		...
		cat >expect_diff_headers_2 <<EOF
                ...
                EOF
	'

Quoting the EOF like the above will help the readers by signaling
them that they do not have to wonder if there is some substitution
going on in the here text.

Instead of grepping, "git diff --name-only" would be far easier to
check, no?

I'd probably write the above like so:

	for i in 1 2
        do
		test_expect_success "orderfile using option ($i)" '
                	git diff -Oorder_file_$i --name-only HEAD^ >actual &&
			test_cmp expect_$i actual
		'
		test_expect_success "orderfile using config ($i)" '
			test_config diff.orderfile order_file_$i &&
                	git diff --name-only HEAD^ >actual &&
			test_cmp expect_$i actual
		'
	done

Points to note:

 * We eval the scriptlets inside test framework, so using $i as a
   variable inside the single quotes will have the expected result.
   You do not have to worry about extra quoting inside dq pair.

 * We do _not_ substitute variables in the test title (perhaps we
   should have designed the test framework to do so, in hindsight),
   so unfortunately the title need to be in dq.

 * Use line-breaks instead of semicolons when writing compound
   syntax structures such as "for/do/done", "if/then/elif/else/fi",
   etc.
