No colors in git bash on windows

[matklad]

Hi! I don't get colored output when using Git Bash on windows:

cc @Stebalien

[Stebalien]

What's your $TERM?

[Stebalien]

Actually, that's probably Stebalien/term#58. Now that my thesis is "done" (well, submitted) I should have time to fix this once and for all.

Yep, doing TERMINFO=$(cygpath -w /usr/share/terminfo) cargo build --color always does the trick. I somehow assumed that "only a very minimal set of operations are supported on mys2/cygwin" includes colors, and that this one is a different issue then. I was wrong, so this could be closed :)

What is the fix again? I'm lost!

@zubair1024 colors should "just work" on msys terminals. Is it not working for you? Can you provide more detail on your environment (versions you are using, etc.)?
