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.
