Hi,
as of late, 'git log' seems to have no useful coloured output.
Formerly, it had no colour whatsoever, but recently, it had started
using colours, but doesn't get them right. FWIW, 'git pull' emitted a
diffstat which was correctly coloured, but 'git log' emits these things
in the same terminal (abbreviated sample):

One can use this as a quick workaround, but I'd rather just use the
defaults:
$ git log --no-color
Kind regards,

Thanks for the update. I'm going to close this for now. Please feel

Sorry I didn't get to this in time.
