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.
I for one welcome this change and often have status output that is long enough to warrant using a pager. I am constantly seeing more than a full screen of results and then either re-running the command as "git -p status" or otherwise scrolling upwards to see the part of the status output that is actually interesting to me. It has often annoyed me that commands like "git log" have always given me a highly usable default behaviour "out of the box" (one of the first things I noticed about Git when I started using it that made me think, "ah, that's a nice touch") while "git status" didn't.
But evidently given that there has been so much backlash against the patch the only way to keep everyone happy will be to make this configurable.
