Otherwise a "git show <id>" eg. for the linux kernel git tree doesn't intent an added line correctly, eg. this is correct :

tfoerste@n22 ~/devel/linux $ git show bcb80e5387
...
+       u32 dummy;
+

whereas this looks wrong :

tfoerste@n22 ~/devel/linux $ export LESS="-r"
tfoerste@n22 ~/devel/linux $ git show bcb80e5387
...
+ u32 dummy;
+


Reproducible: Always

less has been using -R for at least 4.5 years.  so no idea what you're talking about here ...

sometimes portage likes to eat updates with its conf.  no idea what the backing logic is there.
