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).

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.
