The way they do it is broken except when $LESS is unset. When it is set, the user-configured envvar is ignored (so, for me, -i[1] doesn't get added) and the flags that git's use needs (e.g. -R) are not added. They should be enabling the -FSRX options without overriding anything else the user has enabled in $LESS. (Possibly that's just running 'less -FSRX' or 'less -!F -!S -!R -!X' or something, and leaving the envvar alone.) Daniel [1] Makes /-searches case-insensitive. > In our case I'd suggest FX.
