Got it: the change between 1.8.3.4 and 1.8.4 is that colour is on by
default. If I take 1.8.3.4 and git -c color.ui=always log, I see
the same ESC codes => not a regression! I'll just have to sort my
box out if I want colour. (The only oddity is that git status is
correctly colourful.)

Maybe you disabled the pager for "git status"?

Interesting: I didn't disable it on purpose, but indeed, it is not
used for status.

Ah, my bad. Whether the pager should be enabled by default for status
led to a lot of debates here, and I thought the conclusion was yes. But
I'm the one having it enabled by default:

[pager]
        status = true

Can't believe this:

$ echo $PAGER
more

unset PAGER, and git diff is fine...

less will be a much better pager than more, indeed. The default behavior
of less is sometimes anoying (open full-page, and 'q' restores the
terminal, which is very inconvenient for short output), but if you
didn't set $LESS, then Git will set it for you to something appropriate
for git pager.
