    [IMP] remove setting of color.ui · 59354d5b
    Xavier Morel authored
    After further considering PR #21's arguments, the setup script should
    not go around setting `color.ui`:
    
    * it shouldn't be needed for recent gits with default compile
      settings[0]
    * it may override advanced users's own colour configuration/
      customisations (or disabling)
    * it forces default colours on users for which it may be useless
      (colour- blind) or even detrimental (other vision impairments)
    * some linux distributions apparently default to idiotic pagers which
      can't handle ANSI colour codes by default and spew garbage to the
      terminal
