Hi Everyone,

I needed to install Git on Ubuntu 8. Git seems to work Ok for most
task, but this is unusual:

    $ git diff
    WARNING: terminal is not fully functional
    -  (press RETURN)

Here's the terminal:

    $ echo $TERM
    xterm-256color

It seems like loss of colors on an old platform is not that important.
However, the message being printed creates an actionable item that
needs attention. I think no message would be a better option.

Jeff
