Seems like a reasonable thing to want. You can already use "git
format-patch -U20 ...". The usual advice for putting that in config is
to define an alias wit your preferred option. I don't think it would be
too big a problem for format-patch to learn some options to configure
its diffs. We already have some options in format.* for various things.
