If we are to still use Term::ANSIColor, then we might want to
protect ourselves from a broken installation:

        if ($color_config =~ /true|always/ ||
            -t STDOUT && $color_config =~ /auto/) {
                eval { require Term::ANSIColor; };
                if (!$@) {
                        $use_color = 1;
                        ... set up the colors ...
                }
                else {
                        $use_color = 0;
                }
        }

Then you can remove the require from Git::color_to_ansi_code().
Your current calling convention is to require the calling site
to be sure the module is availble; the suggested change merely
makes it responsible to also make sure the module is loaded.

Hmm?

By the way, coloring the diff text itself may be just the matter
of doing something like this (except that you now need to snarf
OLD, NEW, METAINFO and FRAGINFO colors for diff configuration as
well.

In addition to a small matter of testing, a more practical issue
would be to add PAGER support there, I think.
