When I pipe into > something, I get no paging and no column headers. Your point about column headers is taken (explicitly, in my mail) and bears no more repeating since there's a bug about it. Your point about paging continues to be that you don't like it for the purist reason that unix-y tools shouldn't format their output. Or format it "too much", since many tools do do formatting already. grep and git already do something too impure for you and have been doing so for a long time. I'm happy this is the default. If you're not, why not file a bug? It's more effective than complaining on a downstream mailing list. > /Aaron Martin
