Brilliant=2C this is fixed by running:
# git config --global core.pager 'less -+F'
I first checked with:
# git diff | cat
# git diff | more
# git diff | less
and it was showing the desired output. Setting the pager is showing colored=
output! =3D)
Thanks again Polytropon! I would have never known it without the "pager" ke=
