Before git-bisect exits it calls `diff-tree --pretty --stat $commit` on the bad commit. This would always print the "commit" line with coloring despite color.ui being set to "never". Teach diff-tree to look at the git_color_config() configuration. I initially tried to add this to git_diff_basic_config itself, but it makes other unrelated things fail, and this is a more isolated change that solves the issue. Signed-off-by: Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason <avarab@xxxxxxxxx> --- No idea how to test this, in particular trying to pipe the output of color.ui=never v.s. color.ui=auto to a file as "auto" will disable coloring when it detects a pipe, but this fixes the issue. builtin/diff-tree.c | 11 ++++++++++- 1 file changed, 10 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/builtin/diff-tree.c b/builtin/diff-tree.c index b775a75647..0311c01a87 100644 --- a/builtin/diff-tree.c +++ b/builtin/diff-tree.c @@ -97,6 +97,15 @@ static void diff_tree_tweak_rev(struct rev_info *rev, struct setup_revision_opt } } + +static int diff_tree_config(const char *var, const char *value, void *cb) +{ + if (git_color_config(var, value, cb) < 0) + return -1; + + return git_diff_basic_config(var, value, cb); +} + int cmd_diff_tree(int argc, const char **argv, const char *prefix) { char line[1000]; @@ -108,7 +117,7 @@ int cmd_diff_tree(int argc, const char **argv, const char *prefix) if (argc == 2 && !strcmp(argv[1], "-h")) usage(diff_tree_usage); - git_config(git_diff_basic_config, NULL); /* no "diff" UI options */ + git_config(diff_tree_config, NULL); /* no "diff" UI options */ init_revisions(opt, prefix); if (read_cache() < 0) die(_("index file corrupt")); -- 2.15.1.424.g9478a66081
