Re: RFC: git diff colorization idea

Quoting Junio C Hamano [off-list ref]:

If you were to go this route, I suspect that showing the unchanged part on
the preimage line in light gray might make sense, like:

  | _git_remote ()
  | {
  |-    <gray>local subcommands="add rm show prune<gray> <red>update</red>"
  |+    local subcommands="add <green>rename</green> rm show prune"
  |     local subcommand=$(__git_find_subcommand "$subcommands")"
  |     if ...

because there will be the same chars/words on the postimage line anyway.

I think this makes a lot more sense than any of the screenshot
WIncent prepared on his web pages, and it is a much easier output
for users to spot which word is different by not coloring the
unchanged word at all.
