I think "-1" would be the more normal error return.

Shouldn't this be in git_diff_ui_config so it does not affect scripts
calling plumbing?

Hmm. This strbuf error handling strikes me as very clunky, considering
that it does not pass any useful information out of the parse function
(it always just adds '$value' to the error string). Wouldn't it be
simpler to just have parse_submodule_params return -1, and then let the
caller warn or generate an error as appropriate?
