After this commit: 4c7f1819b3c142ace98269a556bc929c80e7c9fd make color.ui default to 'auto' the patch file for 'git add -e' receives all the color codes. This is because diffopt.use_color defaults to -1, which causes want_color to now return 'auto'. By explicitly setting use_color to 0, we can ensure the diff output has no color codes in it.
