I'm fine if the defaults are 16 colors (that's safest), but it would be really cool if we could have an option for: line add color line remove color word add color word remove color I would then configure appropriate colors from the 256 color palette. I think the Github style diffs which include the lines/words that are changed are very readable and make dealing with diffs easier. -- Scott Baker - Canby Telcom Senior System Administrator - RHCE -- 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
