Description VK 2014-12-04 18:07:07 UTC 
The git diff color output is broken because the color sequences are printed instead of being evaluated. The accepted answer here works for me (with default less pager):

http://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/64927/git-diff-displays-colors-incorrectly

I suggest a pkg-message added with a note describing the problem and the fix.

Adding a patch against the SVN tree (rev 376291) to include a message about configuring git in general, including the pager for broken color output.
