Hi,
I was looking for a way to use italics in my git log. I ended-up looking at the code dealing with colors and style and noticed that the italic code was skipped when defining the list (color.c:128 if I'm not mistaken).
I'd love to propose a contribution but I'm sadly not very well versed with C.
So I'm asking you if this could be something that's part of Git someday. I don't know the extent of dim/ul/blink support across the terms but since some of them support italics the style would have its rightful place amongst the others.
And I'd also like to take the occasion to thank everybody working on Git, I've been using it for 7 years now and it's a real pleasure! Thank you all.
Regards,
Simon Courtois
