[RFC PATCH 3/3] diff: check MIN_BLOCK_LENGTH at start of new block

From

Message-ID
<16707a12715ea60e05b00f4eb887ee99cd4d7b71.1502491372.git.jonathantanmy@google.com>
In-Reply-To
<cover.1502491372.git.jonathantanmy@google.com>

When noticing that the current line is not the continuation of the current block, but the start of a new one, mark_color_as_moved() does not check the length of the current block. Perform that check.
