I still think that naming this configuration variable (or
configuration section in the reverse primer.diff) 'primer' is not a
good idea, because it is quite obscure and not well known word.  In
computer related context I have seen it only when talking about
introductory / novice / basic level documentation ('primer (textbook)'
meaning).  Git user, who might be not a native English speaker,
shouldn't have to look up in dictionary what it is about...

I think that 'defaults' or 'options' would be a much better name.
