I cannot understand what's the point... I'm running git without
installing it, but why do you say "toy repository"?...

No problem, let me explain: 'more' is older and standard while
(correct me if not true) 'less' is not in POSIX:2008. I work in a lot
of Unix-like systems and I found 'more' as a standard, while less is
just sometimes installed... my error running 'less' is such an
argument for 'more' because:
$ PAGER=more ../git log

'more' is not a problem... and as a POSIX standard it's almost never a problem.
