Subject: no luck with colors for branch names in gitk yet
Message-ID: <CAC4O8c-MPwrJ2H+iHjQxk+XoX4_vPm80Lz1=wbuHHd2gsB8R0Q@mail.gmail.com>

Someone suggested using color.branch.upstream, I tried like this and variants

[color "branch"]
  local = red bold
  upstream = red bold

Doesn't seem to matter what I put in for upstream, including invalid
colors, gitk just ignores it and does the dark green for local
branches
