Well, I have already been aware of > it, thanks. Having said all that, I have to say I am regretting to have accepted that patch to enable pager on status, not because it bothers me personally (it doesn't primarily because I practically never run git-status because I consider the command useless and living almost always in Emacs helps), but because in principle changing anything that existing users are used to is bad. Jeff had a patch to allow boolean configuration variable "pager.<command>" to override the built-in pager settings during 1.5.6 cycle, and I think it was a reasonable approach to take. People who want to page output from git-status can then set "pager.status = true" in their configuration (and then we can revert c8af1de (make git-status use a pager, 2008-04-23)). Alternatively we could keep the current status-quo for the default, and people can say "pager.status = false" in their configuration. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
