Of course, you can also use other escape codes to make your commits colored (e.g. [92m for green), underlined ([4m), etc.

I actually quite like the idea of control codes in commit messages for internal teams where you can implement rules.

It could be useful for highlighting risky commits in red or other visual markers.

Would play merry hell with almost every other way of viewing commits though :D

In the world of ANSI escape codes and terminal emulators things are never that easy.

Works for OS X apparently.

Regrettably (?), you can't use this to implement marquee.

But you can make your text black with a black background. Or re-order lines, which I suspect to be "fun" for git logs.
