I'm trying to search my git log history for a particular term - "unobtrusive" - so I run this command:

git log -S unobtrusive --oneline

When I do this, this is displayed and I'm in an interactive less terminal or something:

pdftotext version 4.00
Copyright 1996-2017 Glyph & Cog, LLC
Usage: pdftotext [options] <PDF-file> [<text-file>]
 -f <int>             : first page to convert
 -l <int>             : last page to convert
 -layout              : maintain original physical layout
 -simple              : simple one-column page layout
 -table               : similar to -layout, but optimized for tables
 -lineprinter         : use strict fixed-pitch/height layout
 -raw                 : keep strings in content stream order
 -fixed <number>      : assume fixed-pitch (or tabular) text
 -linespacing <number>: fixed line spacing for LinePrinter mode
 -clip                : separate clipped text
 -nodiag              : discard diagonal text
 -enc <string>        : output text encoding name
 -eol <string>        : output end-of-line convention (unix, dos, or mac)
 -nopgbrk             : don't insert page breaks between pages
-bom : insert a Unicode BOM at the start of the text file
 -opw <string>        : owner password (for encrypted files)
 -upw <string>        : user password (for encrypted files)
 -q                   : don't print any messages or errors
 -cfg <string>        : configuration file to use in place of .xpdfrc
 -v                   : print copyright and version info
:

When I hit the down arrow, it scrolls down, repeating this output infinitely until I hit 'q'. What is going on here??
