[PATCH 13/15] rev-list: pass diffopt->use_colors through to pretty-print

From
Jeff King <peff@peff.net>
Date
Jul 13, 2017, 15:07 UTC
Message-ID
<20170713150729.fccsplqohebnqb4l@sigill.intra.peff.net>
In-Reply-To
<20170713145553.3epnsw23zajwg3ee@sigill.intra.peff.net>

When rev-list pretty-prints a commit, it creates a new pretty_print_context and copies items from the rev_info struct. We don't currently copy the "use_color" field, though. Nobody seems to have noticed because the only part of pretty.c that cares is the %C(auto,...) placeholder, and presumably not many people use that with the rev-list plumbing (as opposed to with git-log).

It will become more noticeable in a future patch, though, when we start treating all user-format colors as auto-colors (in which case it would become impossible to format colors with rev-list, even with --color=always).
