sideband.allowControlCharacters::
By default, control characters that are delivered via the sideband
are masked, except ANSI color sequences. This prevents potentially
unwanted ANSI escape sequences from being sent to the terminal. Use
this config setting to override this behavior (the value can be
a comma-separated list of the following keywords):
+
--
default::
color::
Allow ANSI color sequences, line feeds and horizontal tabs,
but mask all other control characters. This is the default.
cursor::
Allow control sequences that move the cursor. This is
disabled by default.
erase::
Allow control sequences that erase charactrs. This is
disabled by default.
false::
Mask all control characters other than line feeds and
horizontal tabs.
true::
Allow all control characters to be sent to the terminal.

* Valid ANSI color sequences are of the form
