Subject: [PATCH v5 3/3] log --graph: customize the graph lines with config log.graphColors

From: Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy <[email-masked]>
Date: Thu, 19 Jan 2017 18:41:23 +0700

If you have a 256 colors terminal (or one with true color support), then
the predefined 12 colors seem limited. On the other hand, you don't want
to draw graph lines with every single color in this mode because the two
colors could look extremely similar. This option allows you to hand pick
the colors you want.

Even with standard terminal, if your background color is neither black
or white, then the graph line may match your background and become
hidden. You can exclude your background color (or simply the colors you
hate) with this.
