All of the "do we want color" flags default to -1 to
indicate that we don't have any color configured. This value
is handled in one of two ways:
1. In porcelain, we check early on whether the value is
still -1 after reading the config, and set it to the
value of color.ui (which defaults to 0).
2. In plumbing, it stays untouched as -1, and want_color
defaults it to off.
This works fine, but means that every porcelain has to check
and reassign its color flag. Now that want_color gives us a
place to put this check in a single spot, we can do that,
simplifying the calling code.

When we read a color value either from a config file or from
the command line, we use git_config_colorbool to convert it
from the tristate always/never/auto into a single yes/no
boolean value.
This has some timing implications with respect to starting
a pager.
If we start (or decide not to start) the pager before
checking the colorbool, everything is fine. Either isatty(1)
will give us the right information, or we will properly
check for pager_in_use().
However, if we decide to start a pager after we have checked
the colorbool, things are not so simple. If stdout is a tty,
then we will have already decided to use color. However, the
user may also have configured color.pager not to use color
with the pager. In this case, we need to actually turn off
color. Unfortunately, the pager code has no idea which color
variables were turned on (and there are many of them
throughout the code, and they may even have been manipulated
after the colorbool selection by something like "--color" on
the command line).
This bug can be seen any time a pager is started after
config and command line options are checked. This has
affected "git diff" since 89d07f7 (diff: don't run pager if
user asked for a diff style exit code, 2007-08-12). It has
also affect the log family since 1fda91b (Fix 'git log'
early pager startup error case, 2010-08-24).
This patch splits the notion of parsing a colorbool and
actually checking the configuration. The "use_color"
variables now have an additional possible value,
GIT_COLOR_AUTO. Users of the variable should use the new
"want_color()" wrapper, which will lazily determine and
cache the auto-color decision.

Usually this function figures out for itself whether stdout
is a tty. However, it has an extra parameter just to allow
git-config to override the auto-detection for its
--get-colorbool option.
Instead of an extra parameter, let's just use a global
variable. This makes calling easier in the common case, and
will make refactoring the colorbool code much simpler.

This shrinks the top-level directory a bit, and makes it much more
pleasant to use auto-completion on the thing. Instead of
[torvalds@nehalem git]$ em buil<tab>
Display all 180 possibilities? (y or n)
[torvalds@nehalem git]$ em builtin-sh
builtin-shortlog.c builtin-show-branch.c builtin-show-ref.c
builtin-shortlog.o builtin-show-branch.o builtin-show-ref.o
[torvalds@nehalem git]$ em builtin-shor<tab>
builtin-shortlog.c builtin-shortlog.o
[torvalds@nehalem git]$ em builtin-shortlog.c
you get
[torvalds@nehalem git]$ em buil<tab> [type]
builtin/ builtin.h
[torvalds@nehalem git]$ em builtin [auto-completes to]
[torvalds@nehalem git]$ em builtin/sh<tab> [type]
shortlog.c shortlog.o show-branch.c show-branch.o show-ref.c show-ref.o
[torvalds@nehalem git]$ em builtin/sho [auto-completes to]
[torvalds@nehalem git]$ em builtin/shor<tab> [type]
shortlog.c shortlog.o
[torvalds@nehalem git]$ em builtin/shortlog.c
which doesn't seem all that different, but not having that annoying
break in "Display all 180 possibilities?" is quite a relief.
NOTE! If you do this in a clean tree (no object files etc), or using an
editor that has auto-completion rules that ignores '*.o' files, you
won't see that annoying 'Display all 180 possibilities?' message - it
will just show the choices instead. I think bash has some cut-off
around 100 choices or something.
So the reason I see this is that I'm using an odd editory, and thus
don't have the rules to cut down on auto-completion. But you can
simulate that by using 'ls' instead, or something similar.
