Does anybody have any comments or opinions about this either way?

I agree with you; I don't like it at all.

I do not care either way. As I do not have LESS defined in my environment
(which makes git use its built-in that contains FX), I actually never
noticed the difference before or after that patch.

Even if I put FX into LESS (I have it set normally so it contains R), it still doesn't behave correctly. I compulsively clear my terminal screen whenever I don't need the current contents, but with FX in LESS, `git status` throws the output at the bottom of my terminal, leaving a lot of blank space at the top. This is extremely irritating to me.

Is there any good reason to make git-status use the pager? The output is very rarely long enough to warrant it, and if I need a pager I can always just pipe it to less myself.
