AFAIR there have been attempts to enable this by default, when git-status 
is run interactively (i.e. its output is not piped). However, this proved 
to be remarkably complex, given that the output of runstatus _is_ piped.
IMHO the proper solution would be to go the full nine yards, and teach 
runstatus about the remaining parts of git-status. Then, automatic color 
works automatically.
Ciao,
