range-diff: indent special lines as context
The range-diff coloring is a bit fuzzy when it comes to special lines of
a diff, such as indicating new and old files with +++ and ---, as it
would pickup the first character and interpret it for its coloring, which
seems annoying as in regular diffs, these lines are colored bold via
DIFF_METAINFO.
By indenting these lines by a white space, they will be treated as context
which is much more useful, an example [1] on the range diff series itself:
[...]
+ diff --git a/Documentation/git-range-diff.txt b/Documentation/git-range-diff.txt
+ new file mode 100644
+ --- /dev/null
+ +++ b/Documentation/git-range-diff.txt
+@@
++git-range-diff(1)
[...]
+
diff --git a/Makefile b/Makefile
--- a/Makefile
+++ b/Makefile
[...]
The first lines that introduce the new file for the man page will have the
'+' sign colored and the rest of the line will be bold.
The later lines that indicate a change to the Makefile will be treated as
context both in the outer and inner diff, such that those lines stay
regular color.
