I run my git commands inside an Emacs *shell* buffer, so I don't want it running 'less' all the time. I export GIT_PAGER=cat to stop it. I just tried a "git-svn log" and it failed: $ GIT_PAGER=cat git-svn log Use of uninitialized value in exec at /usr/bin/git-svn line 3451. Use of uninitialized value in concatenation (.) or string at /usr/bin/git-svn line 3451. Can't run pager: Illegal seek () I don't get a shell prompt back. It just hangs. This is on ubuntu feisty with the ubuntu-backport repositories enabled: ii git-core 1.5.2.5-2~feisty1 ii git-svn 1.5.2.5-2~feisty1 - 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
