 	When no explicit <ref> parameter is given, it defaults to the
 	current branch (or `HEAD` if it is detached).
 
+--color::
+	Color the status sign of the commits. Each branch uses a single color.

+--no-color::
+	Turn off colored output, even when the configuration file gives the
+	default to color output.

 Note that --more, --list, --independent and --merge-base options
 are mutually exclusive.
