title: How to get rid of ESC[ characters when using git diff on Mac OS X Mavericks?
body: <p>Since I installed OS X Mavericks, the result of the command <code>git diff</code> is rendering <code>ESC[xxx</code> characters like this:</p>
  
  <pre><code>ESC[1mdiff --git a/console/org.linkedin.glu.console-webapp/decorate-grails-methods-plugin/plugin.xml b/console/org.linkedin.glu.console-webapp/decorate-grails-methods-plugin/plugin.xmlESC[m
  ESC[1mindex 3b65cf1..0ca5d7e 100644ESC[m
  ESC[1m--- a/console/org.linkedin.glu.console-webapp/decorate-grails-methods-plugin/plugin.xmlESC[m
  ESC[1m+++ b/console/org.linkedin.glu.console-webapp/decorate-grails-methods-plugin/plugin.xmlESC[m
  ESC[36m@@ -15,14 +15,14 @@ESC[m ESC[mThe purpose of this plugin is to decorate various grails methods.ESC[m
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>This used to render properly prior to installing Mavericks. I have no clue what is different so any help in troubleshooting would be much appreciated.</p>
  
  <p>Note that the pager used is <code>less</code> since when I hit <code>h</code> I get the following:</p>

  Commands marked with * may be preceded by a number, N.
  Notes in parentheses indicate the behavior if N is given.
