Let's stop doing that. Really bad idea. "/some/script 2>&1 | tee /some/where | less" is a common, generic debug construct (with countless variations of the exact commands in the pipe - this is Unix, after all). If /some/script happens to run git, then I _do_ want to see all the diagnostic messages it might produce, both recorded at /some/where, and displayed by "less". Regards, Gabor
