Today someone asked on #git for a way to disable diff.external for a
single command.
Without thinking much I suggested $git -c diff.external= diff; which fails with:
`fatal: cannot run : No such file or directory`
In this particular case there was `--no-ext-diff` to get around this
and the case was promptly resolved.
Just another another example where setting configuration values to
"empty" doesn't translate to "disable this option".
