I'll send out a patch in a moment.

Sorry, I didn't say what I meant at all. My problem was that one
cannot get color with a pager using git-status (by doing
'git-status | less'). The output is not a tty, but GIT_PAGER_IN_USE is
not set (and of course I cannot use '-p'). However, that is a moot point
with always/auto/never, since in such a case I can just use 'always'.
