The explanation is below the commit message: "setup_pager has to be called before git_diff_ui_config because the latter uses pager_use_color initialized by setup_pager." > Oh, and I do not really understand why you would enable color _at all_ if > you want to disable it when paging. Do you have many instances when you > want a color diff which is short enough not to be paged? When I use a pager that escapes the escape character or highlights the content itself the output of git diff without the pager should have colors but not with the pager. For example using git diff with a pathspec is quite short most of the time. For git diff I have to enable paging manually and run git diff | $PAGER usually but git log uses the pager automatically and should not use colors with it. - : send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
