in the meantime, you can apply this on top of 1.2.0.

Subject: [PATCH] do not output colors outside of terminals (Closes: #891381)
Finally acquiese to pabs' arguments that a piped program shouldn't
produce escape sequences. My argument was that --no-colors could be
used to fix the behavior, but it's true that the proper behavior by
default would be better, and we can always force colors with --colors
thanks to my shiny NegateAction (I *KNEW* this would be useful
eventually).

My passionate sense of social justice and social responsibility has
always contrasted oddly with my pronounced lack of need for direct
contact with other human beings and communities. I am truly a "lone
traveler" and have never belonged to my country, my home, my friends,
or even my immediate family, with my whole heart; in the face of all
these ties, I have never lost a sense of distance and a need for
solitude.
