Not xterm, at least.

Not gnome-terminal either, for that matter.

I just tried.

	LESS=FRS git diff

clears the screen and leaves the thing at the end.

	LESS=FRSX git diff

works fine, but for people who _like_ the alternate screens (and I do, 
once I really use a pager) it also disables the alternate screen.

It might depend on the termcap, of course. I'm running FC5.
