Not "purely". As I said in comment #1, the behavior is dependent on if there is
/scrollback/. Alternate screen buffer mode generally (maybe always, but since I
use TERM=linux I don't have ASB) does not have scrollback, but you can also
have no scrollback for other reasons (because you cleared it, or in a fresh
tab).

My guess would be as you say, git invoking less in a way that it doesn't use
the ASB. Sounds like you're already looking into that.

Some things that might help:
- setting PAGER
- setting LESS
- 'git <something that makes lots of output> | less'

(The last isn't necessarily a permanent solution, but to help track down if git
is indeed the culprit... though, my 'git' is actually a script that calls the
real git piped through 'less -FR', so it /is/ actually possible to adopt this
as a permanent solution if necessary, without the overhead of having to type '|
less' every time.)
