Ok, the first two were silly questions I got answered as I got to
know more about git automatically :-)

* On my system, doing:

$ git diff

with no outstanding changes in my current working tree produces some
bogus newlines, throwing the prompt to the bottom of the xterm window.
This sounds like weird / undesirable behaviour and I have a feeling must
already be fixed in latest git (?)

It is not git. It is the program less which git uses. The problem is
known to the author of less.

As for this one, I sent out a mail to bug-less@ just in case -- it's a weird
and annoying thing.

Thanks!
