Folks, I am reporting an issue with coloring of the output of Git commands, like status, diff, etc. Specifically, if the field is supposed to be white, it doesn't mean it should be literally 0xFFFFFF. It should be the color that I have configured as White color for my console emulator. I like light-screen terminals, and I configure my ANSI colors in the way that they are clearly visible on the background and clearly distinct between themselves. In my terminal settings background is light-yellow, Black is black, Yellow is brown, Red is dark red, Magenta is purple and White is dark gray. I set it once and I can use it everywhere - all Unix commands work correctly, I can edit highlighted source code in Vim, and all my color settings are respected. However Git behaves differently. When I run git diff, some of the output is literally white on light yellow background. It is like "we know what is White, so we ignore your settings". And it is quite irritating. Is there a way to make Git respect terminal settings and not to override them with absolute colors? If so, please advise. If not, then I guess it is a bug to fix, right?
