Subject: [PATCH v3 2/2] git-config support for diff.relative setting

From: [email-masked]
Date: Tue, 30 Dec 2014 12:56:24 -0500

added support for `git diff --no-relative` (code, documentation, and tests)

git-diff --no-relative overrides diff.relative config setting and prior 
git-diff --relative[=<path>] options.
