Actually, I think this is an incorrect change.
Previously, %(color:...) was taking effect immediately, and after this
patch, it takes effect starting from the next atom.
Try this:
git for-each-ref --format '%(color:red)red %(color:reset)normal'
Before your patch, I get 'red' as red, and 'normal' as normal. After
your patch, I get no color at all, since %(color:...) just stores
information that is never used because I have no real atom.

As a consequence of the remark above, I think the name and comment of
the field are misleading. There are 3 kinds of atoms:
* Placeholders for ref attributes
* Atoms that take action immediately, but that are not ref attributes
like %(color)
* Atoms that only act as modifiers for the next atom. Perhaps they could
be called "prefix atoms" or "modifier atoms".
