I'm fine with changing the defaults as you suggest. It makes more sense
to me with only two colors (files is a potential mistake or not), but I
added more fine-grained support because it was trivial and I thought
others might want to customize it.

We could, of course, allow even more fine-grained control by matching
file type (added, deleted, modified, etc), but I'm not sure anybody
would want that.

As Junio said, test -t. :) Is there interest in me adding that feature?
