git config --global core.pager "less -F -X"This will cause git to only open a pager if it is going to show you more than one page of information.

maandree: having the text not be cleared is the desired behavior:
git grep -G somestring
lots of output that is irrelevant... then BOOM the path you want is right above your prompt when you quit less.

I personally prefer to use git's --no-pager option with a good ol' alias (alias gp='git --no-pager') whenever I need it.
