I think this one is 'not good', as it (a) does not help the user a lot
and (b) is not consistent with the rest around in that function, for example
$ git -c diff.interhunkcontext=-2 diff
fatal: unable to parse 'diff.interhunkcontext' from command-line config
So instead of return -1, we could issue an additional warning, but this could
be a generic warning?
