(Sorry for breaking thread.  I am using the archives and webmail.)

Jim Meyering quoted Pádraig Brady's change:
>  Using color to distinguish types of files is not enabled by default, or 
> when\n\
>  --color=never is specified.  [...]

Hmm, the above is not quite grammatical.  Paraphrased:
"Something is not true by default, or when option --foo is given."

What might be okay:
"Using color to distinguish types of files is disabled by default and also\n\
when --color=never is specified."

But I would prefer to be perfectly clear:
"Using color to distinguish types of files is disabled by default. It is\n\
also disabled when --color=never is specified."
