What I tested is that the new code produces the same result for this
two commands:

git log -p --color-words="[^[:space:]]+"
git log -p --color-words

The old code produced color codes before and after each word, while
the new only at the begining of the color and the end of the color. So
they cannot produce the same output but equivalent.
