Well, I think that a command producing pages and pages of output
without stopping is useless. Therefore, _I_ maintain that it makes
tons of sense.
Ditto. For me, the change was very welcome. Sure, usually the status
output is short, but on those occasions where it isn't (big file
reorganizations etc) I was quite sick of doing the "git status, oops
that output was too long let's try again, git -p status" dance. It
was
also incongruous with my very first experiences with Git, where I had
been pleasantly surprised that "git log" automatically invoked the
pager whereas "svn log" just spewed output into my console until ^C.
I think there is not much point in discussing whether "git status"
should use a pager. It is obvious at this point that some people love
it, and some people despise it, and it seems to be a matter of
personal
preference. The only sane way forward seems to be configurable paging.
I completely agree. I just don't like it when people use words like
"nasty" and "sneak" to describe a change that was discussed in one
short and one long thread prior to being incorporated. But you're
right; there's no sense in discussing the "whether" any more.
Cheers,
Wincent
