align to Git color scheme for new untracked file

[zachvalenta]

git status displays new untracked files using blue:

but exa uses green when employing the --git option:

Is there a way exa can be configured so that the ga attribute will line up with whatever color Git would otherwise use?

It’s an interesting suggestion, I think we would like to have a different color depending of the column, in order to follow git’s use of colors.

(not sure if this should be a different issue but) It would be cool if the whole column matched Git's short status color and characters (e.g. ?? instead of N):

$ git status --short
 M rebar.config
?? script.sh
$ exa --long --git
.rw-r--r--@ 3.8k user  9 Mar 16:16 -- README.md
.rw-r--r--@ 2.7k user 28 Mar 12:02 -M rebar.config
.rw-r--r--@  287 user 28 Mar 12:02 ?? script.sh
drwxr-xr-x@    - user 28 Mar 12:02 -- src
drwxr-xr-x@    - user 20 Mar 11:58 -- test
``

These would be meaningful improvements to exa.
