That said, I cannot reproduce. Perhaps your configuration says
color.ui=always? If so, then this is expected behavior and not a bug,
IMO.

I think you're right.

I tested this (without the patch):

git diff
=> I get color, because I have color.ui = auto

git diff | cat
=> I don't get color

git diff --color=auto | cat
=> no color

git diff --color=always | cat
=> colors, because I've asked

this seems to be just the right behavior.

try the same with

git diff > foo

works when

git diff --no-color > foo
