You don't know what a hasty generalization is. If you want me to explain it to
you, send me a personal e-mail, you are polluting the discussion enough as it
is.

Facts:

1) A hunk that removed (-) is represented in red [1]
2) A hunk that added (+) is represented in green [1]
3) A file that is removed is represented in red [2]
4) A file that is added or modified is represented in green [2]
5) A test that fails is represented in red [3]
6) A test that succeeds is represented in green [3]
7) The current Git logo (accordo to some people) has "-" in red, "+" in green [4]

Given these facts, it's reasonable to assume that to the majority of Git users
red is old and bad, green is new and good.
