It would be clearer to say something like
diff --color-moved: add "dimmed-zebra" synonym for "dimmed_zebra"

The --color-moved "dimmed_zebra" mode (with an underscore) is an
anachronism. Most options and modes are hyphenated. It is more difficult
to type and somewhat more difficult to read than those which are
hyphenated. Therefore, rename it to "dimmed-zebra", and nominally
deprecate "dimmed_zebra".
