It's a bit close to > 'modified' for the eye to find it quickly. I really _really_ hate that table anyway. What I want to know is "what is committed", and "what is not". That table makes it really really hard to see what you are committing, if you have a hundred files changed that are _not_ being committed. The actual committed information will be interspersed in the files you're not interested in, and vice versa. The current commit message is a million times superior, even if it might not be as _pretty_. Linus
