The "status" command recently learned to describe the in-progress operation in its long output format (e.g., rebasing, am, etc). The color for this message defaults to "normal" (i.e., no color). However, if the user has set their default header color to something besides normal, then the message sticks out. A much saner default is to pick the user's header color, making this message match the rest of the header. We already do the same trick with the "onbranch" message. Rather than expand the current conditional to list all types of messages which will default back to the header color, we can just default all "nil" colors to do so, simplifying the code. That encompasses all of the current nil color slots, and will likely cover any future ones that will be added.

My intent was that this would also let "color.status.inprogress" override it, in case a user really wanted a green message or something. However, I notice that the original series did not add such a config option, so this color cannot be configured at all. Furthermore, I think the color formatting for this message is somewhat buggy. Even if we set it to green, you would end up with (imagine our header color is blue): <blue># On branch master<reset> <green># You are in the middle of a rebase.<reset> when what you would probably want is: <blue># On branch master<reset> <blue># <reset><green>You are in the middle of a rebase.<reset> I.e., the "#" bit should always be in the header color, and only the message text should change colors. This is how the "onbranch" message is handled. But given that this is not even configurable in the current code, I really wonder if it needs to have its own color at all. Do people really want to set the color of this message separately? Maybe we should just use WT_STATUS_HEADER instead. wt-status.c | 4 ++-- 1 file changed, 2 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) diff --git a/wt-status.c b/wt-status.c index c749267..2f724b4 100644 --- a/wt-status.c +++ b/wt-status.c @@ -24,7 +24,7 @@ static char default_wt_status_colors[][COLOR_MAXLEN] = { GIT_COLOR_GREEN, /* WT_STATUS_LOCAL_BRANCH */ GIT_COLOR_RED, /* WT_STATUS_REMOTE_BRANCH */ GIT_COLOR_NIL, /* WT_STATUS_ONBRANCH */ - GIT_COLOR_NORMAL, /* WT_STATUS_IN_PROGRESS */ + GIT_COLOR_NIL, /* WT_STATUS_IN_PROGRESS */ }; static const char *color(int slot, struct wt_status *s) @@ -32,7 +32,7 @@ static const char *color(int slot, struct wt_status *s) const char *c = ""; if (want_color(s->use_color)) c = s->color_palette[slot]; - if (slot == WT_STATUS_ONBRANCH && color_is_nil(c)) + if (color_is_nil(c)) c = s->color_palette[WT_STATUS_HEADER]; return c; } -- 1.7.10.5.40.gbbc17de -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
