Default for color.ui (was Re: is this a bug of git-diff?)

 I wonder if that should be the default.  I've advised a lot of people to
 turn it on and it seems to me that a user is much more likely to go
 looking for a turn color off option than realise that color is an
 option at all.

I'd love to see this by default, yes. Maybe a 2.0 change?

If people agree that this is a good change, would we need a transition
plan? I'd say no, as there is no real backward incompatibility involved.
People who dislike colors can already set color.ui=false, and seeing
colors can hardly harm them, just temporarily reduce the comfort for
them.

I vote for this. It's the first thing I do in any setup, even the ones
that are note mine. I've also seen it in basically all the tutorials,
even before setting user.name/email.

I also don't see the point of a transition plan.
