Package: git-core Version: 1:1.5.3.2-1 Severity: minor git log paginates its output, even when its output is empty due to it being run with an invalid option. I suspect it was written by someone who uses PAGER=more, since more doesn't paginate empty input and thus this problem is masked.
So if PAGER=less, git log -h has the worst behavior I've seen a program exhibit with -h: Rather than displaying help, it displays an empty pager. Quit out of the pager and you can finally see what the command is complaining about, namely that there's no short form of --help for this program. -- System Information: Debian Release: lenny/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'testing'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.22-2-686 (SMP w/1 CPU core) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages git-core depends on: ii cpio 2.9-3 GNU cpio -- a program to manage ar ii libc6 2.6.1-5 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libcurl3-gnutls 7.17.0-1 Multi-protocol file transfer libra ii libdigest-sha1-perl 2.11-2 NIST SHA-1 message digest algorith ii liberror-perl 0.15-8 Perl module for error/exception ha ii libexpat1 1.95.8-4 XML parsing C library - runtime li ii perl-modules 5.8.8-11 Core Perl modules ii zlib1g 1:1.2.3.3.dfsg-5 compression library - runtime Versions of packages git-core recommends: ii curl 7.17.0-1 Get a file from an HTTP, HTTPS or pn git-doc <none> (no description available) ii less 406-0 Pager program similar to more ii openssh-client [ssh-client] 1:4.6p1-5 secure shell client, an rlogin/rsh ii patch 2.5.9-4 Apply a diff file to an original ii rsync 2.6.9-5 fast remote file copy program (lik -- no debconf information -- see shy jo
