Yep.

I find it amazingly useful to see the first part, you know, the part with the staged changes, instead of them whizzing by and me only seeing the last part of the untracked files. And of course, I do not even see the label "Untracked files:", because there are so many.

I agree, though, that the paging only makes sense with FSRX (not only FX!), and that "less" should have that as default, too.

Ciao, Dscho
