From 5ee875852e3cb41c21c2e89a636fc1e40c4012b1 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Junio C Hamano Date: Wed, 4 Mar 2015 11:07:12 -0800 Subject: log --decorate: do not leak "commit" color into the next item In "git log --decorate", you would see the commit header like this: commit ... (HEAD, jc/decorate-leaky-separator-color) where "commit ... (" is painted in color.diff.commit, "HEAD" in color.decorate.head, ", " in color.diff.commit, the branch name in color.decorate.branch and then closing ")" in color.diff.commit. If you wanted to paint the HEAD and local branch name in the same color as the body text (perhaps because cyan and green are too faint on a black-on-white terminal to be readable), you would not want to have to say [color "decorate"] head = black branch = black because that you would not be able to reuse same configuration on a white-on-black terminal. You would naively expect [color "decorate"] head = normal branch = normal to work, but unfortunately it does not. It paints the string "HEAD" and the branch name in the same color as the opening parenthesis or comma between the decoration elements. This is because the code forgets to reset the color after printing the "prefix" in its own color. It theoretically is possible that some people were expecting and relying on that the attribute set as the "diff.commit" color, which is used to draw these opening parenthesis and inter-item comma, is inherited by the drawing of branch names, but it is not how the coloring works everywhere else.
