I am reasonably sure "git diff-files" wouldn't be involved, though ;-) It would be more like tweaking fputs() of a strbuf that was filled by render_hunk() to instead spawn a pager and feed the same strbuf to it, or something. IOW, we already have the payload to show. We just want a pager involved in its showing so that users with a huge hunk that does not fit on a page can use "less" on it. In any case, the future enhancement is not within, and we shouldn't add it to, the scope of this topic.
