From: Johannes Schindelin <johannes.schindelin@xxxxxx>
After using this command extensively for the last two months, this
developer came to the conclusion that even if the dual color mode still
leaves a lot of room for confusion what was actually changed, the
non-dual color mode is substantially worse in that regard.
Therefore, we really want to make the dual color mode the default.

+--no-dual-color::
+ When the commit diffs differ, `git range-diff` recreates the
+ original diffs' coloring, and add outer -/+ diff markers with
+ the *background* being red/green to make it easier to see e.g.
+ when there was a change in what exact lines were added. This is
+ known to `range-diff` as "dual coloring". Use `--no-dual-color`
+ to revert to color all lines according to the outer diff markers
+ (and completely ignore the inner diff when it comes to color).
--creation-factor=<percent>::
Set the creation/deletion cost fudge factor to `<percent>`.
