The possible slots are: * branch (refs/heads/) * remoteBranch (refs/remotes/) * tag (refs/tags/) * stash (refs/stash) * HEAD (HEAD) * grafted (refs/replace/ or GIT_REPLACE_REF_BASE) These are exactly the namespaces that are now shown by default in this series. If someone adds a new color slot, then that would need to be justified with a reason why that slot is important. We've already had discussions as to why showing a decoration for notes is not valuable to an end user. The stability of this config option (the last addition of 'grafted' was in 2011) is good evidence that this core set of namespaces is all users will need. By contrast, the use of "hidden" namespaces is relatively new and is expected to increase in the near future. -Stolee
