Re: [PATCH] Add color to git-add--interactive diffs (Total different idea to solve the problem)

Hi,

Wouldn't it make more sense to implement the diff coloring inside git 
apply so that you could use something like

        diff file1 file2|git apply --color

to make the generated diff with colors [1]? It already implements the
same semantic for generating a diffstat, using

        diff file1 file2|git apply --stat

No.  In both cases, "git diff" realises that the output is no terminal, 
and switches off color generation.  (Just try with diff.color=true instead 
of =auto.)
