Subject: [PATCH] git-commit: colored status when color.ui is set
Message-ID: <200812212315.00740.markus.heidelberg@web.de>
URL: https://gitlist.dev/e/200812212315.00740.markus.heidelberg%40web.de

```
When using "git commit" and there was nothing to commit (the editor
wasn't launched), the status output wasn't colored, even though color.ui
was set. Only when setting color.status it worked.
