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, Dscho
