This adds only the minimum necessary to keep git pull/merge's diffstat from
wrapping. Notably absent is support for the K (erase) operation, and
support for POSIX write.

If I understand the patch correctly, it won't affect output that goes to the
pager; only text that goes directly to the console would be colored.

Yes, that is correct.

Note that an MSYS bash/rxvt is effectively considered a pager by this
patch, since it fails the isatty() test. This is actually a good
thing: MSYS has better ANSI support anyway.
