I noticed this, and also noticed that the dark color in question was
in fact the default Windows selection background color.  Unfortunately,
wish/gitk doesn't also use the default Windows selection foreground color
(white), so the result is pretty unreadable.

When playing with Git on Windows I worked around the problem by changing
the selection color system-wide.

(This patch is perhaps better than making it work the "Windows way"
with the right system foreground color, though, as the tag and branch
markers are also pretty ugly against a dark background...)
