Subject: Git's config core.pager doesn't respect color.pager
Message-ID: <d129c0140807221910j37f40e72se9f411d6424077de@mail.gmail.com>

I'm seeing a problem with git.  It's easier to demonstrate than
explain.  The relevant parts of my .gitconfig:

[core]
	pager = tig

[color]
	diff = auto
	pager = false

tig is a console-based git client that can also act as a pager,
colorizing git output.

So, with the above config, when I do:

git diff | tig

Everything works correctly - git sends no color codes, because of
color.pager = false.

However, if I do just:

git diff

git uses core.pager to display the output, but still sends color
codes, which is OK for, say, less, bit not so good for tig, which does
it's own colorizing, and displays the color codes git sends as-is.

Shouldn't core.pager respect color.pager, and not send the color codes?
