Stefan HallerandClaude Opus 5 b14c4b68ce Say what a diff command's output is for
Two things about a diff command follow from what its output is for: whether
the diff renderer produces it, and whether it is coloured. That was a
`plain` flag, which covers two of the three cases — the diff as configured,
and git's own uncoloured diff for building patches out of — and leaves no
room for the third, which is about to be needed: git's own diff, coloured,
for showing where the renderer's version of it can't be acted on.

So the flag becomes a mode. It also takes over deciding the colour, which
each command spelled out for itself, and it settles a question the flag
couldn't put: whether ignoring whitespace applies. It is about what the user
wants to see, so it holds for anything shown, and not for a diff a patch is
built from, which has to describe every change.
