Not from me. I use "git diff" just to check that the tree is empty, and
the fact that it now throws me into an empty pager is irritating.

That said, "LESS=FRS" doesn't really help that much. It still clears the
screen. Using "LESS=FRSX" fixes that, but the alternate display sequence
is actually nice _if_ the pager is used.

Still, I think I'd prefer FRSX as the default.
