It is perhaps unfair to ask without show how :-). If you do

    git config --global color.ui true

Many of git's command output (show, diff, etc) would be colorized. This makes 
life easier as it would colorize trailing spaces as red for example, and 
perhaps also mixed-use of space and tabs.

See also the core.whitespace entry in 'man git-config' and also the 
color.diff.whitespace section.
