Just installed darcs 2.1 and now I get this on quitting each
invocation of darcs help command_name:
Command not found:
["less -X"]
In my environment I have PAGER='less -X' because I like to leave stuff
on the screen for reference. Obviously this is not interacting well
with darcs' use of less. Does anyone know a way to fix this? I saw
the solution below where darcs was aliased to set the PAGER var to
'cat' explicitly each time, which got rid of the error. I am wondering
though does anyone know what's triggering this error specifically when
i 'quit' the darcs pager and is there something I could do to fix just
that?

A --pager option to the help command would solve this nicely. It
should default to off, so the old behavior is possible. At the same
time anyone who wants a pager by default can add to ~/.darcs/
defaults
a line like
help pager
Rather I think it should be --paged or --not-paged. To me, --pager
implies that it takes an argument -- which pager to use.
There's already darcs changes --interactive, which changes darcs
changes
to listen to the user rather than just dumping everything to stdout.
Perhaps this feature should also be called --interactive?
Any of your proposals are better than mine, though --interactive
suggests that the user will provide some input, which he is not,
except
if we consider that him pressing the up/down keys to navigate the
output
is input.
