The author described this change as “Raise exception if append-config does not exist”. It counts as a record because the check below fails on the code as it stood at ad1006e8c and passes on 314b9f516, with nothing else changed between the two runs.

What the code was meant to do, written into the code itself as a docstring

Load the configuration given the user options. - in `isolated` mode, return an empty configuration - if a config file is given in `config` use that, otherwise attempt to discover a configuration using `tox.ini` / `setup.cfg` / `.flake8` - finally, load any `extra` configuration files

The change

The check that tells the two apart

fail→pass·tests/unit/test_options_config.py::test_load_config_missing_append_config_raise_exception

Check file tests/unit/test_options_config.py, taken without changes from the fix and copied onto the older code, so the exact same check runs against both versions.
