--- Begin Message ---Package: git Version: 1:1.8.4.3-1 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer, Since upstream has made color.ui=auto the default, my git experience has suffered. I use lv as my preferred pager and somehow that doesn't jive with what the various git commands feed it. Pagination itself works but instead of colors I get to see control codes like below (partial output of git diff): ^[[1mdiff --git a/.mailfilter b/.mailfilter^[[m ^[[1mindex aa4f0b2..17e113e 100644^[[m ^[[1m--- a/.mailfilter^[[m ^[[1m+++ b/.mailfilter^[[m ^[[36m@@ -1,11 +1,58 @@^[[m Using GIT_PAGER=more or GIT_PAGER=less works fine and show paginated, colored output. Nice! I am loathe to switch to less though, as I have to deal with files in a number of different encodings at the same time. The lv pager does a good job at automatically detecting those on the fly, less does not. I am not sure what would be the best approach to fix this. The pager command is there for a purpose and if git would silently change to a different one, I would certainly be surprised (and depending on the diff, confused as to why changes don't look as expected). Come to think of this, you might even argue it is something that ought to be fixed in lv (but I don't know if that's even possible). I guess for now I'll just turn off color.ui ... -- System Information: Debian Release: jessie/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (990, 'testing'), (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 3.11-2-amd64 (SMP w/8 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=ja_JP.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=ja_JP.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages git depends on: ii git-man 1:1.8.4.3-1 ii libc6 2.17-93 ii libcurl3-gnutls 7.33.0-1 ii liberror-perl 0.17-1.1 ii libexpat1 2.1.0-4 ii libpcre3 1:8.31-2 ii perl-modules 5.18.1-4 ii zlib1g 1:1.2.8.dfsg-1 Versions of packages git recommends: ii less 458-2 ii openssh-client [ssh-client] 1:6.4p1-1 ii patch 2.7.1-4 ii rsync 3.1.0-2 Versions of packages git suggests: ii gettext-base 0.18.3.1-1 pn git-arch <none> pn git-bzr <none> ii git-cvs 1:1.8.4.3-1 pn git-daemon-run | git-daemon-sysvinit <none> pn git-doc <none> ii git-el 1:1.8.4.3-1 ii git-email 1:1.8.4.3-1 ii git-gui 1:1.8.4.3-1 ii git-svn 1:1.8.4.3-1 ii gitk 1:1.8.4.3-1 pn gitweb <none> -- no debconf information -- Olaf Meeuwissen, LPIC-2 FLOSS Engineer -- AVASYS CORPORATION FSF Associate Member #1962 Help support software freedom http://www.fsf.org/jf?referrer=1962
