Ah, my bad. Whether the pager should be enabled by default for status
led to a lot of debates here, and I thought the conclusion was yes. But
I'm the one having it enabled by default:
[pager]
status = true

less will be a much better pager than more, indeed. The default behavior
of less is sometimes anoying (open full-page, and 'q' restores the
terminal, which is very inconvenient for short output), but if you
didn't set $LESS, then Git will set it for you to something appropriate
for git pager.
