Matthieu Moy 4c7f1819b3 make color.ui default to 'auto' Most users seem to like having colors enabled, and colors can help beginners to understand the output of some commands (e.g. notice immediately the boundary between commits in the output of "git log"). Many tutorials tell the users to set color.ui=auto as a very first step, which tend to indicate that color.ui=none is not the recommanded value, hence should not be the default. These tutorials would benefit from skipping this step and starting the real Git manipulations earlier. Other beginners do not know about color.ui=auto, and may not discover it by themselves, hence live with black&white outputs while they may have preferred colors. A few people (e.g. color-blind) prefer having no colors, but they can easily set color.ui=never for this (and googling "disable colors in git" already tells them how to do so), but this needs not occupy space in beginner-oriented documentations. A transition period with Git emitting a warning when color.ui is unset would be possible, but the discomfort of having the warning seems superior to the benefit: users may be surprised by the change, but not harmed by it. The default value is changed, and the documentation is reworded to mention "color.ui=false" first, since the primary use of color.ui after this change is to disable colors, not to enable it.

////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

	Git - the stupid content tracker

////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

"git" can mean anything, depending on your mood.

 - random three-letter combination that is pronounceable, and not
   actually used by any common UNIX command.  The fact that it is a
   mispronunciation of "get" may or may not be relevant.
 - stupid. contemptible and despicable. simple. Take your pick from the
   dictionary of slang.
 - "global information tracker": you're in a good mood, and it actually
   works for you. Angels sing, and a light suddenly fills the room.
 - "goddamn idiotic truckload of sh*t": when it breaks

Git is a fast, scalable, distributed revision control system with an
unusually rich command set that provides both high-level operations
and full access to internals.

Git is an Open Source project covered by the GNU General Public
License version 2 (some parts of it are under different licenses,
compatible with the GPLv2). It was originally written by Linus
Torvalds with help of a group of hackers around the net.

Please read the file INSTALL for installation instructions.

See Documentation/gittutorial.txt to get started, then see
Documentation/everyday.txt for a useful minimum set of commands, and
Documentation/git-commandname.txt for documentation of each command.
If git has been correctly installed, then the tutorial can also be
read with "man gittutorial" or "git help tutorial", and the
documentation of each command with "man git-commandname" or "git help
commandname".

CVS users may also want to read Documentation/gitcvs-migration.txt
("man gitcvs-migration" or "git help cvs-migration" if git is
installed).

Many Git online resources are accessible from http://git-scm.com/
including full documentation and Git related tools.

The user discussion and development of Git take place on the Git
mailing list -- everyone is welcome to post bug reports, feature
requests, comments and patches to git@vger.kernel.org (read
Documentation/SubmittingPatches for instructions on patch submission).
To subscribe to the list, send an email with just "subscribe git" in
the body to majordomo@vger.kernel.org. The mailing list archives are
available at http://news.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/,
http://marc.info/?l=git and other archival sites.

The maintainer frequently sends the "What's cooking" reports that
list the current status of various development topics to the mailing
list.  The discussion following them give a good reference for
project status, development direction and remaining tasks.
