Subject: 'git diff HEAD' pager quirks
Date: Thu, 14 Dec 2006 17:01:46 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <4581C9CA.5060207@garzik.org> (raw)
So, after a 'yum upgrade' brought me git-core-1.4.4.2-2.fc6, I
discovered that "git diff HEAD" will produce paged output, if at a tty.
Nice, I like the improvement.
However, when there is no output at all (nothing dirty in working dir),
"git diff HEAD" will sometimes invoke $PAGER ("/usr/bin/less" here)
__anyway__.
This causes the cursor to jump down 20-30 lines, before returning the
command prompt. Annoying. Example follows.
Jeff

[jgarzik@pretzel libata-dev]$ git diff HEAD

[jgarzik@pretzel libata-dev]$ git diff HEAD
[jgarzik@pretzel libata-dev]$
