No git updates here. For a couple of years I have been using a local ~/.gitconfig that contains the following:

[color]
  branch = auto
  diff = auto
  status = auto
[color "branch"]
  current = yellow reverse
  local = yellow
  remote = green
[color "diff"]
  meta = yellow bold
  frag = magenta bold
  old = red bold
  new = green bold
[color "status"]
  added = yellow
  changed = green
  untracked = cyan
[push]
  default = simple


Temporarily removing the config file makes no difference. $LANG=en_US, which hasn't changed in years.
