Please use "reset", as that is the term used by the C color code.

I believe there are other places where the diff output is parsed, and the colors will mess that up, too (e.g., split_hunk). All of those regexes need to be changed, too. I am a bit concerned that we are putting intimate knowledge of the colorization scheme here. As much as it pains me to have two diff colorizers, I wonder if that would be a better solution than having a diff colorizer, and a colorized diff parser.
