So I was surprised that git did color as well, because it sure
doesn't do that by default for me. Even though the man page

The man page is confusing. It's trying to say that --color
is the same as --color=always. It then says: "The default
value is never."
I see that it doesn't quite work out of the box seamlessly, at least
for me. I need LESSOPTIONS to contain R to make it work. And I
also realize the true reason that I generally don't like colorized
output; the default colors are terrible. At least for me, with
"git log --color=always", there is very poor contrast for the commit
line output.
It's yellow, so that would be bad on a light background. I
guess whoever put that in git uses a dark background. git
config lets you change colors.
