Re: git-diff(1) appears to contradict itself

Reuben Thomas [off-list ref] writes:

Under the --color=<when> option, it says:

Show colored diff. The value must be always (the default for <when>),
never, or auto. The default value is never.

I think it wants to say this:

    You can say "diff --color" without saying "when".  That is the
    same as saying "diff --color=always".

    If you do not say "--color" at all, that is exactly the same as
    saying "diff --color=never".

Patches welcome.
