One thing to note when I was playing around with what's on pu right
now, I noticed that the oldMovedAlternative and newMovedAlternative
are the first moved colors to be used if there is only one move. (Ie:
a simple case of literally one section moved) This is a bit weird that
the alternative colors are used before the "main" colors. I would have
thought it would be the other way.

I noticed this because the default colors do not work well for my
terminal color scheme and I had to configure but realized that I
needed to configure the alternative ones to make a difference in the
simple diff I was viewing.

Thanks,
Jake
