'git diff HEAD' pager quirks

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



So, after a 'yum upgrade' brought me git-core-1.4.4.2-2.fc6, I discovered that "git diff HEAD" will produce paged output, if at a tty. Nice, I like the improvement.

However, when there is no output at all (nothing dirty in working dir), "git diff HEAD" will sometimes invoke $PAGER ("/usr/bin/less" here) __anyway__.

This causes the cursor to jump down 20-30 lines, before returning the command prompt. Annoying. Example follows.
