Having read the message you referenced I'm struggling to understand
the use-case for stripping escape codes - what do you want to do with
the hunk that means you want to remove the color?
Let me recap, please.

I hope this makes the whole thing more clear.
It is very clear _how_ you think it should work and I agree that makes
sense in the context of a generic shell pipeline. What's not clear to me
is _why_ that is useful in the context of displaying hunks in "git add
-p". The purpose of "git add -p" is to allow the user to interactively
stage individual hunks. The "|" command allows the user to display the
hunk in a way that helps them decide whether to stage that particular
hunk. Are you able to give a specific example of a command that would
help you decide whether to stage a particular hunk where you would not
want to keep the escape codes?
