Yes, this is by design: if you customized less, git obeys the
configuration you've set. Otherwise, it takes a default wich is more
appropriate to git that what "less" does without $LESS set.

That policy isn't perfect, but I think any other would be worse: I
wouldn'l like git to change my configuration if I did set $LESS
myself, and I also prefer git's default to LESS default when it comes
to paging git commands (but I like less's default for other uses, for
example, I like the man page to disapear when I close it).
