I think it's a bug. It bisects to Jonathan's dec543e (am -i, git-svn: use "git var GIT_PAGER", 2009-10-30). But it seems to me that "git var GIT_PAGER" is fundamentally broken. It calls git_pager, which in turns checks isatty(1). But of course stdout _isn't_ a tty, because we are piping it back to the perl process to read the result of "git var". In other words, I don't see how this ever could have worked. For git-config's colorbool support we have the caller pass in a stdout-is-tty flag. I suspect we would need to do the same thing here. -Peff -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
