```
Form git tree:

$ git log -n 1 8d863c98b2f9b0d37 | wc
      7      28     246

$ git log --no-color -n 1 8d863c98b2f9b0d37 | wc
      8      28     247

$ git --version
git version 1.5.3.2.124.g648db

What's worst is that when using --log-size option, the size is always
the same (198 in this case) breaking qgit parsing when --no-color
option is used.

BTW --no-color option is needed to correctly handle repositories where
"diff.color = true" in the configuration as pointed out (and patched)
by Yaacov Akiba Slama.

Thanks
Marco

Hi,

using git version 1.5.3.4.383.gd90a7 i can't confirm this, the two
outputs are of the same length here.

Regards,
Johannes
