I like colorized diffs, but let's face it, those particular color choices
will make most people decide to pick out their eyes with a fondue fork.
And that's not good. Digging in your eye-sockets with a fondue fork is
strictly considered to be bad for your health, and seven out of nine
optometrists are dead set against the practice.
So in order to avoid a lot of blind git users, please apply this patch.
This patch does:
- always reset the color _before_ printing out the newline.
This is actually important. You (and Johannes) didn't see it, because
it only matters if you set the background, but if you don't do this,
you get some random and funky behaviour if you pick a color with a
non-default background (which still potentially has problems with tabs
etc, but less so).
- allow people to have a different color for the "file headers"
(DIFF_METAINFO) and for the "fragment header" (DIFF_FRAGINFO). Also,
make a difference between "normal color" and "reset colors"
- default to red/green for old/new lines. That's the norm, I'd think.
- instead of that eye-popping (and eye-ball-with-a-fondue-fork-popping)
purple color for metadata, use bold-face for file headers, and cyan for
the frag headers. I actually prefer the "gray background" for that, but
it only works well in xterms, so COLOR_CYAN it is..
Hmm?
