As my message says, "disable colors in git" already gives you the answer, today (1st hit in Google). I'm not worried about the difficulty to find the information in the future.

I thought this was what I did, but your first complain was I was mentionning the majority, and you are now suggesting something about majority/minority, so I'm lost.

In any case, feel free to change the commit message, what's really important is the actual change, and it does not seem controversial.
