Problem Scenario:  programmer doesn't pay attention to messages as he 
becomes more familiar with git and as a result doesn't notice error messages 
until its too late.  Mistakes take longer to remediate because the original 
error message was not resolved at the time it occurred.

Desired Solution:  configure git to display all error messages in color, 
e.g. red, so that the programmer does not overlook error messages.

Does anyone know how to configure this in git?
