How to set tab size for pager used in git diff?

Question

I use the pager most

It's pain to see diff output with tabsize=8. How can I specify tabsize==2 ?

For a less pager, you can update the pager

git config --global core.pager 'less -x2'

You can do the same with mostif this one has an option to change the tab size

Ok, I'll rather switch to **less**. Thank you, krampstudio! – zuba Feb 28 '13 at 10:31
