pager: set LV=-c alongside LESS=FRSX
On systems with lv configured as the preferred pager (i.e., DEFAULT_PAGER=lv at build time, or PAGER=lv exported in the environment) git commands that use color show control codes instead of color in the pager: $ git diff ^[[1mdiff --git a/.mailfilter b/.mailfilter^[[m ^[[1mindex aa4f0b2..17e113e 100644^[[m ^[[1m--- a/.mailfilter^[[m ^[[1m+++ b/.mailfilter^[[m ^[[36m@@ -1,11 +1,58 @@^[[m "less" avoids this problem because git uses the LESS environment variable to pass the -R option ('output ANSI color escapes in raw form') by default. Use the LV environment variable to pass 'lv' the -c option ('allow ANSI escape sequences for text decoration / color') to fix it for lv, too. Noticed when the default value for color.ui flipped to 'auto' in v1.8.4-rc0~36^2~1 (2013-06-10).
