Nice. I was just too lazy to do something like this and "export
PAGER=less LESS=FRX" then ignored it :-P

Slightly off topic, but pagers like 'more' does not understand colors
either. But color.ui = auto does not know what and prints color code
anyway. It would be nice if we had some configuration to describe
"this pager can show colors, that pager does not" so I don't have to
maintain separate .gitconfig files on two platforms.
