   There is no "ignore-any" supported by the feature---I think that
   the parser for the option should have noticed and barfed, but it
   did not.  It merely emitted a message to the standard output and
   let it scroll away with the huge diff before the reader noticed
   it.
   
Addressed in this patch.

   Am I missing something [...] ?

Note that this parsing is used for both the parsing from command line
as well as options, i.e.

  git config diff.colorMovedWS asdf
  git format-patch HEAD^
fatal: ignoring unknown color-moved-ws mode 'asdf'
  git config --unset diff.colorMovedWS

(format-patch parses these color specific things, but doesn't apply it)

s/ignoring// as it was sent in a haste.

Hmph, is it our convention for a value that is not yet known to the
current version of Git found in a configuration file to cause it to
die?  I somehow thought that command line options are checked more
strictly and configuration variables are parsed more leniently.

If that is the case, the place that dies need to be raised in the
callchain; iow, instead of dying inside the parser, it is necessary
to let it only detect a problem and allow the caller to decide what
to do with the problem, I would think.
