Subject: Need your help with MinGW Issue 17: --color options don't work (produce garbage)
Message-ID: <a1bbc6950708142329w4e0e3d7cq573c67dd3b28f03a@mail.gmail.com>

Here are the facts:

'git branch --color' produces garbage:
$ git branch --color
  devel←[m
  dima←[m
  dmitryk←[m
* ←[32mmaster←[m
  mob←[m
  next←[m

'git branch --color | cat' produces expected colored output.

I've traced it down to printf statement in gdb and it sends the right
esc-sequence.
Where should I look next?
