I'm latest stable git (1.6.2) on a bright background terminal. Unfortunately, the default text foreground color for the "commit " line of git-log is 3 - yellow. And yellow writing is not very readable on bright background. Of course, I could customize color 3 at the terminal letter to be darker, but that breaks everything else that uses color 3 as a background highlight (vim, ack, etc.) I've scoured the man pages, but haven't found any way to set the color for that line in .gitconfig. So, I suggest that this should be considered a bug. At the very least, there should be an easy way to set that color for all us using a bright background terminal - the default Gnome Terminal, the default Terminal.app, and generally the default on many systems. Is there any good solution for this that I missed? Thanks, Fynn
