I'm curious.  Are you saying your less does not have -S (or you do not
even have less), or do you have a reason not to use it?

The reason I thought of this initially was that I have a bot reporting commits
at $dayjob in an IRC channel. Since some of my colleagues commit with long
subject lines, I thought of this as a way to control the output of the bot
(e.g., by controlling the bot's input).
