Default for color.ui (was Re: is this a bug of git-diff?)

John Keeping [off-list ref] writes:

I wonder if that should be the default.  I've advised a lot of people to
turn it on and it seems to me that a user is much more likely to go
looking for a "turn color off" option than realise that color is an
option at all.

I'd love to see this by default, yes. Maybe a 2.0 change?

If people agree that this is a good change, would we need a transition
plan? I'd say no, as there is no real backward incompatibility involved.
People who dislike colors can already set color.ui=false, and seeing
colors can hardly harm them, just temporarily reduce the comfort for
them.
