"git-diff-tree --color HEAD" (with explicit command line instruction to color it) still colours its output, but "[diff] color = auto" in ~/.gitconfig would not affect the coloring. Hence, "git-diff-tree HEAD" with the configuration entry gives monochrome. "git diff HEAD" on the other hand looks at '[diff] color = auto" and will color its output without being told on the command line. - To unsubscribe from this list: 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
