There seem to be a few more occurences (git-sh-setup.sh and pager.c):
$ git grep FRSX
Documentation/RelNotes/1.6.5.txt: * mingw will also give FRSX as the default val
Documentation/config.txt:When the `LESS` environment variable is unset, Git sets
Documentation/config.txt:command to `LESS=FRSX less -+S`. The environment tells
git-sh-setup.sh: : ${LESS=-FRSX}
pager.c: env[i++] = "LESS=FRSX";
perl/Git/SVN/Log.pm: $ENV{LESS} ||= 'FRSX';
Searching for LESS seems to implicate a few more possible candidates in
contrib/examples:
contrib/examples/git-log.sh:LESS=-S ${PAGER:-less}
contrib/examples/git-whatchanged.sh:LESS="$LESS -S" ${PAGER:-less}
