Git doesn't set special options to it's pager command if the LESS environment variable is set. I noticed when I started using Gentoo that git was putting all output into a pager even if it were less than one page, which it didn't do under Ubuntu. A fellow Gentoo user confirms this; apparently Gentoo's defaults set LESS, but without a -F. Should git always tack on a -F when it invokes less, or should this be put on the user to look up what to do? Or should I go complain to the Gentoo folks?
Go complain to Gentoo. If the user has set it explicitly (even if that happens behind the user's back), we absolutely mustn't fiddle with it. -- Andreas Ericsson andreas.ericsson@xxxxxx OP5 AB www.op5.se Tel: +46 8-230225 Fax: +46 8-230231 -- 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
