Are you setting LESS explicitly in the environment?
From the git config man page:
When the LESS environment variable is unset, Git sets it to FRX (if LESS
environment variable is set, Git does not change it at all).
From the less man page the X option:
Disables sending the termcap initialization and deinitialization
strings to the terminal. This is sometimes desirable if the
deinitialization string does something unnecessary, like clearing the
screen.
So with the default setup the output should remain on the screen.
Right. But I have LESS=RS because I do *not* want it to remain on screen
by default.
