The word "force" does not need to be part of the name, any more than we
need to write "--force-interactive" or "--force-non-recursive" or
"--force-revision=REV".

I would have thought "--diff-cmd=" would be a good UI for overriding a
config-file diff-cmd option.

And, whatever the option is called, we will be introducing the same for
"svn diff", won't we?
