1. Summarise the issue (what were doing, what went wrong?)

I have DARCS_ALWAYS_COLOR=1 exported. Viewing a patch in the pager
doesn't interpret the colour codes, e.g. by

    echo p | darcs cha -i

2. What behaviour were you expecting instead?

If the pager is less, darcs should pass the -R flag. (more interprets
colour codes by default, and I'm not sure about more.com. Obviously, we
shouldn't do this if the user has set a custom pager)

3. What darcs version are you using? (Try: darcs --exact-version)

2.7.99.2 (release candidate 2)

strangely :-), although I have no doubt this is present in HEAD.

4. What operating system are you running?
  
Linux x86_64
