Matlab: differential equation: starting conditions are wrong?

I solved manually: with
but if I solve it with Matlab:
syms v(t) g alpha m v0;
D = diff(v,t) == g - alpha/m*v;
c1 = v;
cond = c1(0) == v0;
S = dsolve(D,cond);
pretty(S)
I get a different solution, even if I'm sure mine is right.
I know this topic is a little vast, but maybe some of you talented people has time to investigate

I'm no expert, but isn't the integral equal to
That way, the algebra works out to match the result MATLAB is giving you
syms v(t) g alpha m v0;
D = diff(v,t) == g - alpha/m*v;
cond = v(0) == v0;
S = dsolve(D,cond)
S = 
which simplifies to
