Re: Adding color to git diff output.

Linus posted a colorize program a while back[1] but it wasn't taken into git.  
The patch below takes a different approach, adding a GIT_DIFF_PAGER variable.
You can use it by assigning a filter to the environment variable, like so:

export GIT_DIFF_PAGER="colordiff | less -RS"

Sounds like a nice idea, even maybe suitable in a FAQ.
Unfortunately colordiff does not seem to grok diff --cc output,
but that is fine ;-).
