It automatically switched to internal grep if coloring was turned on. Patch 5 of my series adds support for coloring external greps, but you have to explicitly specify the config option grep.color.external. It can be set by distributors in the system config file -- they should know which grep option is needed. But I can see that a half-colored git grep can be confusing.
