[PATCH] No color diff when redirecting to file

From: Sascha Peilicke <saschpe@gmx.de>
Date: Jan 23, 2011, 13:10 UTC
Message-ID: <201101231410.48528.saschpe@gmx.de>

Previously, when having color diffs enabled and redirecting 'git diff' into a file, one ends up with a messed up file containing termcap color stuff. This change disables color when diff output is redirected into a file.
