Passing code (web pages, etc) throught iconv is not a good idea - {git,cg}-diff should show the file content as it is, not altered by iconv. Changing PAGER is a bit... ugly and messy way of doing it. Assume that I work on some files and want to look at some unversioned files outside the tree (like docs, man pages, whatever) and the $PAGER passes the legitimate ISO8859-2 files through iconv, what gives us garbage. And we end up changing pager very often - Bad Idea (TM). -- Krzysiek Pawlik (Nelchael) RLU #322999 GPG Key ID: 0xBC555551
