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

Yeah... that is really not a good idea. You are not supposed to take this blog post seriously. Why not just agree on some terminology like CRITICAL/MINOR/SECURITY, which a visual interface can then highlight? SECURITY: Fix XSS in spline reticulation If it detects "SECURITY" it adds a red background, etc. Anyone viewing the raw text version of the commit messages will still get the message without having to see a bunch of gibberish.
