Package: quilt
Version: 0.60-7
Severity: normal

PROBLEM

    $ quilt --color=always push 
    ... works

    $ quilt --color=always pop 
    ... nope, *this* command does not accept --color

SUGGESTION

Please accept option --color for every command even if it would do
nothing with it (yet). By accepting the option, it would be possible
to make handy aliases:

     alias q="quilt --color=always"

One could also write scripts in a uniform manner:

     #/bin/sh
     ...
     quilt $color_option $cmd

Now the commands need cubersome handling to turn colors on or off.
