There's no need to be so terse. This is python, after all, so string
parsing is easy.
max_diff_lines = # no value, no limit (default)
max_diff_lines = (\d+)(\s+(truncate|omit))?
So, if you wanted to see at most 100 lines of diff and truncate the
rest, you'd say
max_diff_lines = 100 truncate
if you wanted to omit diffs longer than 100 lines,
max_diff_lines = 100 omit
and
max_diff_lines = 100
would take a suitable default (probably truncate)
