I find this extremely unreadable.  Also numstat being for porcelain use, I
do not see the point.

I think [1/2] that removes the (plain)coloring of the stat summary text is
Ok.  The code is painting the stat summary in the same color as the
filenames in the stat graph, and the default "plain" color happens to be
"do not color--just use the terminal default", so it probably does not
have any practical difference.
