git diff sometimes brings up buggy pager

Matthew Groth· Jun 15, 2017, 16:19 UTC · lore

When I do `git diff` sometimes I get this:

...skipping... ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ...skipping... ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ...skipping... ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

.... it goes on like this for about 10 times the length. Looks like this happens exclusively when I use git diff with a github remote that is at the same commit. I will update if I find any other case where this happens.

Re: git diff sometimes brings up buggy pager

Any chance you can tell us what repo this happens on? + git version, OS, and what the triggering diff invocation is.
