: ' What did you do before the bug happened? (Steps to reproduce your issue) I diff-d after moving lines. Reproduce: This entire report can be run verbatim as a bash script. The executed code is at the end. - 1. Execute: Copy-paste the suggested command to hide ~/.gitconfig - 2. Execute: Produces example diff - 3. Execute: Copy-paste the suggested command(s) to unhide and clean up. What did you expect to happen? (Expected behavior) All (!) moved-only lines are colour coded cyan-purple. What happened instead? (Actual behavior) Some (the first?) individual moved lines are colour coded (treated?) as if the line changed (red-green). In a commit with only one moved line, it is coloured as changed. Whats different between what you expected and what actually happened? The distinct colouration for moved lines is lacking in the actual behaviour. Anything else you want to add: Running "script.sh show" will use "git show" instead of "git diff". Same problem. Moved mode "plain" behaves as expected. Skimming "git log -p next" suggests that "--color-moved" did not change on "next" nor recently.
