The diff markers from the diff of patches as opposed to the ones from
the original patches.  I took the term from git-range-diff.txt:

    --no-dual-color::
        When the commit diffs differ, `git range-diff` recreates the
        original diffs' coloring, and adds outer -/+ diff markers [...]

    Use `--no-dual-color` to revert to color all lines according to the
    outer diff markers (and completely ignore the inner diff when it
    comes to color).
