[PATCH] git-gui: fix ANSI-color parsing

[PATCH] git-gui: fix ANSI-color parsing

[Bert Wesarg]

git diff always outputs color reset commands, even when the color for the
current part is disabled (ie. normal). But the current ANSI-color parsing code
assumes that color start and reset commands appear in matching pairs.

Relax this assumption.
