I'd recommend "tig blame" for this, too, which behaves like "less -S" with respect to long lines (and also makes it easy to jump to the full diff, or restart the blame from the parent of the found commit). > It's possible for a user to set pager.blame to "less -S" to get back to > the previous behavior only for blame. > > The idea of having a separate default value for pager.blame (or set > $LESS differently for blame) crossed my mind, but I actually don't like > it, as it would make it harder for a user to fine-tune his configuration > manually (one would have to cancel all the corner-cases that Git would > set by default). Agreed. We already get some confusion from users with "git has set $LESS for me". Changing it to "git set up $LESS depending on which command is running" seems like it would cause more of the same. -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
