The importance of the diff coloring pales in comparison to the prompt
coloring. Diff coloring is useful, but prompt coloring is a basic
usability concern (if people can't easily tell where a hunk begins, the
tool becomes annoying). Perhaps we could split this into two patches,
merging the first after a few small changes can be taken care of, while
the second may need more discussion and testing. The coloring of the
prompts is relatively low risk. It just needs to be modified to take
color settings from .git/config. I was thinking that this might be the
example that I would take settings from:
[color]
add-interactive = auto
[color "add-interactive"]
prompt = bold blue
header = bold
help = blue
For the sake of a unified interface, the "Stage this hunk?" prompt
should be colored the same as the other prompts. I will give a bit of
thought to the default colors, though it's important to avoid red and
green (as those will look like diff output when the second patch is
applied).
Also needed is some command line parsing so that "--color" can be
specified on the command line (very small change), and all of this
should be added to the documentation.
Obviously, the suggestions/fixes from other parts of this thread must be
taken into account, as well. I can probably do all this tomorrow (and
send low-risk/high-risk patches), unless someone takes it before me.
