Hi, git 1.8.4 likes to put colors in its output, especially in 'git log'. But for historical reasons, I've LESS="-e -P%f (%pB\%)" in my environment. With those setups and TERM=xterm in an xterm, git log shows the control sequences used to set colors instead.
Even setting LESS="" still produces the same (ugly) result. unsetting LESS gives the expected result. I must admit that I fail to understand what's going on. PS: this is not a plea to turn off colors in git output. I know how to do it if needed (git config --global color.pager false). -- Matthieu Herrb
