I don't have commit access at all; can somebody commit it for me?

Might look into these eventually, thanks.

I'm not sure what you mean, so let me just explain in a bit more detail:
When you have new files, or changes in bigger blocks, --color-words
doesn't help you all that much. But with little typos, where only one
or two characters change, maybe just an n to an m or so, my eye has a
hard time spotting the change even with colored lines. This is where
--color-words really helps.
For completely new files not known in the previous git tree, it is not
really useful.
In order to use it, ensure your git has color enabled, i.e., something
like this in your ~/.gitconfig:
[color]
pager = true
ui = auto
[core]
pager = less -FRSX
and then pass the option to 'git show' or 'git diff', depending on
how you have applied the patch to your tree.

Not really; sorry.
Cheers,
