I wanted to play with this series to see how it looked on a few commits.
Since this was the only documentation change, I tried "git -c
color.moved=true diff ...". But it doesn't seem to work.
If we grep for diff_color_moved_default, we can see it declared:

But then nobody uses it. ;)
I suspect diff_setup() needs to copy the default into the diff_options
struct?
By reading the code, I found --color-moved, which did work. Yay. So then
I wanted to see how it looked on a wide variety of commits. So I ran
"git log -p --color-moved", but it segfaulted. :-/
I didn't dig, but here's what valgrind says, in case it helps:
$ valgrind ./git --no-pager log --oneline -p --color-moved

It does show one commit correctly; fcdb8874d (your commit, but picked up
from the list, so my commit sha1) is the second one. I don't know if
that's coincidence, or maybe there's something that's not properly
between diff runs.
