That makes me think to one common operation I do which is not really convenient when PAGER is set to cat: git-log. Piping the output of git-log to a pager such as less(1) makes git-log to suspend when the pipe is full. OTOH setting PAGER to cat, git-log never blocks and for projects with a (very) long history such as git or the linux kernel, git-log can show a lot of commits making the cpu really busy and the emacs buffer really huge. One way to workaround this is to pass -n10 for example to git-log, but it's rather ugly. Do you have any tricks for this case ?
