Note that these patches are for "next", depending on the "--color-moved" patches.
While working on something else [1], I noticed some irregularities with how "diff --color-moved" treats the minimum block size, occasionally coloring blocks smaller than that as moved. I've marked this as RFC because now I'm not sure if minimum number of lines is the best way to handle the minimum block size. In particular, an existing test (in t4015) assumes that 2-line blocks can be legitimately colored as moved (and notice that it is now marked test_expect_failure in patch 3), and in my work, I would also like the rules to be relaxed. What do you think of also changing the rule to, say, "minimum 10 non-whitespace characters"?
