Subject: config: format colors quietly
X-Git-Tag: v2.54.0-rc0~114^2~2
X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=2d4ab5a885f365cb66156ff4553f88c000dfa307;p=thirdparty%2Fgit.git

config: format colors quietly

Move the logic for formatting color config value into a helper method
and use quiet parsing when needed.

This removes error messages when parsing a list of config values that do
not match color formats.
