From: Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy <pclouds@xxxxxxxxx>
If git is passed the --paginate option, committing the pager choice
will require setting up a pager, which requires access to repository
for the core.pager configuration.
After handle_options() is called, the repository has not been searched
for yet. Unless GIT_DIR or GIT_CONFIG is set, attempting to access
the configuration at this point results in git_dir being set to .git,
which is almost certainly not what was wanted. If a git command is
run from a subdirectory of the toplevel directory of a git repository
and the --paginate option is supplied, the core.pager setting from
that repository is not being respected.
There are several possible code paths after handle_options() and
commit_pager_choice() are called:
1. list_common_cmds_help() is a printout of 29 lines. This can
benefit from pagination, so do commit the pager choice before
writing this output.
Since ‘git’ without subcommand has no other reason to access the
repository, ideally this would not involve accessing the
repository-specific configuration file. But for now, it is simpler
to commit the pager choice using the funny code that would notice
whatever repository happens to be at .git. That this accesses a
repository if it happens to be very convenient is a bug but not
a very important one.
2. run_argv() already commits pager choice inside run_builtin() if a
command is found. If the relevant git subcommand searches for a
git directory, not commiting to a pager before then means the
core.pager setting from the correct $GIT_DIR/config will be
respected.
3. help_unknown_cmd() prints out a few lines to stderr. It is not
important to paginate this, so don’t.
