By default, Git used to set $LESS to -FRSX if $LESS was not set by the
user. The FRX flags actually make sense for Git (F and X because Git
sometimes pipes short output to less, and R because Git pipes colored
output). The S flag (chop long lines), on the other hand, is not related
to Git and is a matter of user preference. Git should not decide for the
user to change LESS's default.

Git always pipes its output to less,

Err, no, not all commands use a pager.

I am inclined to suggest queuing it for the first batch after 2.0
instead of directly applying to 'master', as we have past the point
we can expect to see reports of unexpected fallouts and fix the
issues in time for the final.

Fine with me.
