git log --pretty=oneline on win xp cmd

I just recently no开发者_JS百科ticed 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 ... ?

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.
