Do I understand code correctly, and the last '+' or '-'
in the parents column means?

        for (i = 0; i < ecbdata->nparents && len; i++) {
                if (line[i] == '-')
                        color = DIFF_FILE_OLD;
                else if (line[i] == '+')
                        color = DIFF_FILE_NEW;
        }

Anyone who wrote this code, could you answer me, please?

The "up to ecbdata->nparents" is Johannes in cd112ce.  But you
are looking at a wrong code, I am afraid, if your original
question was about the combined format (there is a comment about
the codepath dealing only with two-way diffs by Johannes, above
the part you quoted).  The output for combined diff is coming
from combine-diff.c:dump_sline().

I was asking both about combined diff format, and how it is colored
by git-diff --color, to add colored combined diff output to gitweb.

I was answering about both.  dump_sline() implements both format
and coloring.

Any other ideas how combined commitdiff should look like in gitweb?

Combined or no combined, one thing that mildly irritates me
sometimes is that there does not seem to be an easy and obvious
way to do a rough equivalent of typing SPACE repeatedly while
viewing "git log -p".

In other words, I think it would be a nice addition to have "go
to commitdiff page of this parent" links near the top on the
commitdiff page.
