git 2.0 pager does not work - less claims no file name on command line

[Steven Levine]

git log

does not invoke less correctly. Less reports

Missing filename ("less --help" for help)

which implies that git's stdout is not properly connected to less's stdin. Less defaults to reading from stdin if there is no file listed on the less command line and if stdin is not a terminal.

Note that the bauxite v1.7.3.2 port handles the pager properly.

I find that piping to less works as a workaround.

git log | less

It turns out that the problem was GNU less itself. As with our recent RPM version (481-3.oc00) it just works as it should (it even retains colours!). So closing this.
