Subject: Git pager woes
Date: Tue, 7 Oct 2008 09:43:12 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <3aaafc130810070643m352ea2ufa1069dc149f0d9e@mail.gmail.com> (raw)
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?
