Colorize is a gem licensed under the GPLv2, so we can’t use it in GitLab without relicensing GitLab under the terms of the GPL. Rainbow is licensed under the MIT license and does the exact same thing as Colorize, so Rainbow was added in place of Colorize.
The syntax is slightly different for Rainbow vs. Colorize, and was updated in accordance.
The gem is still a dependency of Spinach, so it’s included in the development/test environments, but won’t be packaged with the actual product, and therefore doesn’t require we relicense the product.
An attempt at relicensing Colorize was made, but didn’t succeed as the library owner never responded.

The change in baa157926d broke backup
restore fucnctionality. This would not lead to data loss, but it
prevented the restore script from working. This bug exists only in
7.14.0 release candidate versions, not in 7.13.
Reported in https://github.com/gitlabhq/gitlabhq/issues/9571 .
The existing behavior of the backups is to overwrite whatever data
was still there in the scratch directories. This broke when we added
a 'gzip' step because 'gzip database.sql' will fail if 'database.sql.gz'
already exists. Doing 'rm -f database.sql.gz' before the 'gzip'
avoids this failure.
Use native Postgres database cleaning during backup restore
We were using hacks to drop tables etc during a Postgres backup
restore. With this change, we let pg_dump insert the DROP TABLE
statements it needs at the start of the SQL dump.
