This wasn't just for the GUI. Using Git for a project I imported from CVS, I
wanted --ignore-space-at-eol to be in effect at all times on the command line.
Of course, the "alias.dff" approach suggested yesterday by Teemu would work for
that. But I got the feeling this is a more general need. I'll name my primary
inspiration: ExamDiff (a Windows program). ExamDiff lets you specify a wide
range of options that remain in effect over all invocations. Seems like
something a lot of users would find natural. Please comment.

Sorry Shawn, I should have Cc'd you. Please let me know if I can improve the
git-gui code in any way.
