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.
