I do not think it is possible with only {new,old}{,alternative} 4
colors.
Consider this diff:
context
-B
-B
-B
-A
-A
-A
context
+A
+A
+A
+B
+B
+B
context
Two blocks (A and B) that are adjacent are moved but swapped to form
a pair of new adjacent blocks.
We would like the boundary between the last "-B" and the first "-A"
to be highlighted differently; all other "-A" and "-B" lines do not
disappear but go elsewhere, so they want to be dimmed.
The newly added 6 lines are actually moved from elsewhere, and we
would like the boundary between the last "+A" and the first "+B" to
be highlighted differently, and others are dimmed.
So I'd think you would need at least two kinds of highlight colors
plus a dimmed color.
context
-B dim
-B dim
-B highlight
-A highlight
-A dim
-A dim
context
+A dim
+A dim
+A highlight
+B highlight
+B dim
+B dim
context
If old_moved and old_moved_alternative are meant for highlighting
"-B" and "-A" above differently, while new_moved and
new_moved_alternative are for highlighting "+A" and "+B"
differently, you'd need a way to specify "dim" for old and new moved
lines, which seems to be impossible with only 4 new colors.
