The little grepping I did in our docs didn't show much about color.ui,
and nothing about its default value (just technical documentation, not
beginner-oriented).

Other than that, the patch makes the doc say "... `auto` (this is the
default since Git 2.0)". I'm slightly in favor of delaying the change
until Git 2.0 and keeping it as-is, but I'm OK with letting it in the
next minor version if other people think it should (I did not see strong
opinion on that, but I think the general opinion from the discussion was
it would be OK). If so, I can resend without the 2.0 mention (or Junio
can edit it locally).
