(I've found a few proposed solutions for this problem, but none of
them work for me.)
**Problem**
I am trying to use Vim as the git core.editor -- no matter what I do,
I get "cannot allocate color" messages.
I've tried setting the git core.editor (using --replace-all) to vim,
mvim, vim -U NONE -u NONE, mvim -u NONE -U NONE, etc.
**Notes**
* I have nothing referring to Vim in my .bashrc
* I have a `/usr/bin/vim` that is aliased to `/usr/bin/vim ->
/Applications/MacVim.app/Contents/MacOS/Vim`
* I have no aliases for vim or mvim set
* If I execute vim in the terminal it starts up just fine, no errors
* echo $TERM responds `xterm-256color`
**Environment**
