Yes, I keep forgetting to think of 'pull' in Git terms.  When someone talks
of pulling the changes to something, it makes me think they've decided to
discard them.

I can't see how adding an extra parameter to a few functions is "too
intrusive".  Similarly, I think four extra colourings (repository, name,
version, and groups) adds plenty to the readability of the output.

Please don't remove any of the colourisation that's already present.  If
there's one thing I hate in life, it's when people decide to devolve
something back to the dark ages (excuse the pun).
