Subject: [PATCH 2/3] Let git-add--interactive read colors from .gitconfig

[Dan Zwell <dzwell@zwell.net>]

Colors are specified in color.interactive.{prompt,header,help}.
They are specified as git color strings as described in the
documentation. The method color_to_ansi_string() in Git.pm parses
these strings and returns ANSI color codes (using
Term::ANSIColor).
