When parsing the argument for OPT_INTEGER and OPT_ABBREV, we check if we can parse the entire argument to a number with "if (*s)". There is one missing check: if "arg" is empty to begin with, we fail to notice. This could happen with long option by writing like git diff --inter-hunk-context= blah blah Before 16ed6c97cc (diff-parseopt: convert --inter-hunk-context, 2019-03-24), --inter-hunk-context is handled by a custom parser opt_arg() and does detect this correctly. This restores the bahvior for --inter-hunk-context and make sure all other integer options are handled the same (sane) way. For OPT_ABBREV this is new behavior. But it makes it consistent with the rest. PS. OPT_MAGNITUDE has similar code but git_parse_ulong() does detect empty "arg". So it's good to go.
