The user can specify a custom update method that is run when

After starting "git rebase -i", which first opens the user's editor

Commit 55cccf4bb (color_parse_mem: allow empty color spec,
2017-02-01) clearly defined the behavior of an empty color
config variable. Let's document that, and give a hint about
why it might be useful.
It's important not to say that it makes the item uncolored,
because it doesn't. It just sets no attributes, which means
that any previous attributes continue to take effect.

The commands git-branch and git-tag accept the '--create-reflog'
option, and create reflog even when core.logallrefupdates
configuration is explicitly set not to.
On the other hand, the negated form '--no-create-reflog' is accepted
as a valid option but has no effect (other than overriding an
earlier '--create-reflog' on the command line). This silent noop may
puzzle users. To communicate that this is a known limitation, add a
short note in the manuals for git-branch and git-tag.

Prior to c2f41bf52 (color.c: fix color_parse_mem() with
value_len == 0, 2017-01-19), the empty string was
interpreted as a color "reset". This was an accidental
outcome, and that commit turned it into an error.
However, scripts may pass the empty string as a default
value to "git config --get-color" to disable color when the
value is not defined. The git-add--interactive script does
this. As a result, the script is unusable since c2f41bf52
unless you have color.diff.plain defined (if it is defined,
then we don't parse the empty default at all).
Our test scripts didn't notice the recent breakage because
they run without a terminal, and thus without color. They
never hit this code path at all. And nobody noticed the
original buggy "reset" behavior, because it was effectively
a noop.
Let's fix the code to have an empty color name produce an
empty sequence of color codes. The tests need a few fixups:
- we'll add a new test in t4026 to cover this case. But
note that we need to tweak the color() helper. While
we're there, let's factor out the literal ANSI ESC
character. Otherwise it makes the diff quite hard to
read.
- we'll add a basic sanity-check in t4026 that "git add
-p" works at all when color is enabled. That would have
caught this bug, as well as any others that are specific
to the color code paths.
- 73c727d69 (log --graph: customize the graph lines with
config log.graphColors, 2017-01-19) added a test to
t4202 that checks some "invalid" graph color config.
Since ",, blue" before yielded only "blue" as valid, and
now yields "empty, empty, blue", we don't match the
expected output.
One way to fix this would be to change the expectation
to the empty color strings. But that makes the test much
less interesting, since we show only two graph lines,
both of which would be colorless.
Since the empty-string case is now covered by t4026,
let's remove them entirely here. They're just in the way
of the primary thing the test is supposed to be
checking.
