Heh, the command-line is the _ONLY_ thing I raised, as we knew ui.color is not an issue in this codepath, in $gmane/297757. Going back to that and reading again, I suggested to check with GIT_COLOR_AUTO (i.e. if it is left to "auto", disable it) because I think the former is a much more future-proof way (imagine that we may add --color=<some new setting> in the future) than checking with GIT_COLOR_ALWAYS (i.e. if it is not explicitly set to "always", disable it). > In short, I think you're right, I have to guard the assignment, with the > minor adjustment to test use_color != GIT_COLOR_ALWAYS. So I am not sure if you said "use_color != GIT_COLOR_ALWAYS" only to be different from what I suggested (you seem to have a tendency to do so whenever you can), or there was some other reason. -- 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
