Fossil's UI  already uses  some hue  of red and  green for  diffs, which
means that  those who have  a hard time with  those colors will  have to
rely on other facts  about the diffs (e.g. removals will  show up on the
left and additions will show up on the right in a side-by-side diff; +/-
for unified diffs, etc...).

Will  they  also be  able  to  rely on  the  location  and direction  of
the  arrow  or  perhaps  the  type   of  arrow  to  help  determine  the
cherrypick/backout when color fails?
