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)
