Re: [PATCH] help: colorize man pages

How is enabling a configuration already present in `man` out of scope,

  git help --man git

Doesn't even necessarily run man *already*.

As an end-user, I do not expect Git to run konqueror or woman with
its own tweaks when it does so.  And I do not see a reason why "man"
should be any different.

You skipped the first question: 

Do you also expect that `git diff a b` runs something similar to
`diff a b`?
