range-diff: make --dual-color the default mode
After using this command extensively for the last two months, this developer came to the conclusion that even if the dual color mode still leaves a lot of room for confusion about what was actually changed, the non-dual color mode is substantially worse in that regard. Therefore, we really want to make the dual color mode the default. Signed-off-by: Johannes Schindelin <johannes.schindelin@gmx.de> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

--dual-color::
|
||||
When the commit diffs differ, recreate the original diffs'
|
||||
coloring, and add outer -/+ diff markers with the *background*
|

being red/green to make it easier to see e.g. when there was a

change in what exact lines were added.
|
||||
--no-dual-color::
|
||||
When the commit diffs differ, `git range-diff` recreates the
|
||||
original diffs' coloring, and adds outer -/+ diff markers with
|
||||
the *background* being red/green to make it easier to see e.g.
|
||||
when there was a change in what exact lines were added. This is
|
||||
known to `range-diff` as "dual coloring". Use `--no-dual-color`
|
||||
to revert to color all lines according to the outer diff markers
|
||||
(and completely ignore the inner diff when it comes to color).
|
||||
|
||||
--creation-factor=<percent>::
|
||||
Set the creation/deletion cost fudge factor to `<percent>`.

|

|

The color-coded diff is actually a bit hard to read, though, as it
|
||||
colors the entire lines red or green. The line that added "What is

unexpected" in the old commit, for example, is completely red, even if

the intent of the old commit was to add something.

A naive color-coded diff of diffs is actually a bit hard to read,

"What is unexpected" in the old commit, for example, is completely red,

To help with that, use the `--dual-color` mode. In this mode, the diff
|
||||
of diffs will retain the original diff colors, and prefix the lines with
|
||||
-/+ markers that have their *background* red or green, to make it more
|
||||
obvious that they describe how the diff itself changed.
