And by config option you mean both a command line parameter
`--color=yes-but-no-move-detection` as well as a diff.color config option?
As it is currently `--color=<when>` with when={always, never,auto},
I don't think we want to add it as another parameter there, so maybe
--color-type=<style> with style={minimal, full} whereas the minimal/full
describes the amount of work needed. Though I think that is bad as there
might be other orthogonal features to this.
So maybe just a `--[no-]color-moved` ?
As a config option we'd go with color.moved=<bool> for now?
I imagine we may want to refine the moved detection algorithm in the
future, e.g. moved just in the patch, or moved from elsewhere in the
repo or whether the moved detection takes permutations into account
etc, so actually we'd want to have color.moved={none, this-patch} for
now. The command line parameter --color-moved=<style> would be the
same.

will do.

Makes sense.
