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).
