It saddens me that we can't better help people who have a custom LESS/MORE/LV set out of the box, but I think I agree that the intimacy with the pagers was just getting too ugly. So I agree we want to drop what you have there. I was planning to try to clean up the "like this..." patch to the Makefile I posted earlier, but haven't gotten around to it. It seemed like you were positive on that approach. Let me see if I can do that. -Peff -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
