Yes, in "[RFC] Syntax highlighting for combined diff" thread
http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/29566

Well, the _documentation_ doesn't tell. I haven't fully grokked the code
for generating and coloring combined diff output besides the fact that
I think it uses last indicator ('+' or '-') to chose color for the rest
of line. You said that even if the possibility exist, it is extreme
unlikely.

I was not sure about output. All conclusions about combined diff output
are from examples; I've planned to send patch to documentation when I'll
be sure that at least _most_ of what I've added is correct.

Will do.
