that are added somewhere else in the diff. This mode picks up any
moved line, but it is not very useful in a review to determine
if a block of code was moved without permutation.
-zebra::
+blocks::
Blocks of moved text of at least 20 alphanumeric characters
are detected greedily. The detected blocks are
- painted using either the 'color.diff.{old,new}Moved' color or
+ painted using either the 'color.diff.{old,new}Moved' color.
+ Adjacent blocks cannot be told apart.
+zebra::
+ Blocks of moved text are detected as in 'blocks' mode. The blocks
+ are painted using either the 'color.diff.{old,new}Moved' color or
'color.diff.{old,new}MovedAlternative'. The change between
the two colors indicates that a new block was detected.
dimmed_zebra::
blocks are considered interesting, the rest is uninteresting.

+--color-moved-ws=<modes>::
+ This configures how white spaces are ignored when performing the
+ move detection for `--color-moved`.
+ifdef::git-diff[]
+ It can be set by the `diff.colorMovedWS` configuration setting.
+endif::git-diff[]
+ These modes can be given as a comma separated list:
++
+--
+ignore-space-at-eol::
+ Ignore changes in whitespace at EOL.
+ignore-space-change::
+ Ignore changes in amount of whitespace. This ignores whitespace
+ at line end, and considers all other sequences of one or
+ more whitespace characters to be equivalent.
+ignore-all-space::
+ Ignore whitespace when comparing lines. This ignores differences
+ even if one line has whitespace where the other line has none.
+allow-indentation-change::
+ Initially ignore any white spaces in the move detection, then
+ group the moved code blocks only into a block if the change in
+ whitespace is the same per line. This is incompatible with the
+ other modes.

--word-diff[=<mode>]::
Show a word diff, using the <mode> to delimit changed words.
By default, words are delimited by whitespace; see
