Sorry for the slow reply. Yep, I can reproduce this. Setting GIT_PAGER='lv -c' (-c means "allow color") works as a workaround. Questions: 1. Git exports LESS=FRSX (-FX = do not use alternate screen; quit if less than one screenful of output, -R = allow ANSI escape sequences through, -S = chop long lines) if the LESS environment variable is unset to allow less to work correctly by default without extra command-line arguments. Does lv have an environment variable to allow the caller to pass in default settings? 2. Does lv have options analagous to less -FX to avoid pagination when there is less than a screenful of output? Without that setting, commands like "git log --oneline -3" and "git grep -e stringappearingnowhere" use the full screen instead of printing their output above the command prompt, making it harder to copy-and-paste tidbits from output into the next command. 3. lv allows some formatting through by default (^H-based bold and underlines) for the sake of the "man" command. Would it make sense for 'lv' to enable -c by default? 4. Other ideas? Regards, Jonathan -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
