Unlike .gitignore, this feature is opt-in rather than enforced.

To use this, you need to run

'git config diff.orderFile scripts/git.orderFile'

or

'git diff -C scripts/git.orderFile'



Indeed, the file order is subjective, leaving
us a question "do we need it in upstream"?

At least, it is harmless for people who have no interest.
