git log --pretty=oneline on win xp cmd

Question

I just recently noticed this behaviour. To put it shortly, it displays the commits with an END on a white background, and gets stuck.

Upon pressing "q" it asks if I wish to terminate the batch job ?

Is anyone else experiencing this ? Is this a known bug, or ... ?

Answer 1

Well, the END on a white background comes from less through which the output is being piped.

I have recently noticed odd crashes using Cygwin utilities from the command line but have not had a chance to investigate yet.
