Then it is poor design. :P j/k Why not use the pager only if git-show is "interactive", using the same test for interactivity as SUSv3/POSIX shells use? IIRC, a shell is interactive if both stdin and stderr are terminals. That test for interactivity -- a associated difference in behavior -- predates git by a number of years. Is there a reason for being different? Is the porcelain consistent about that behavior? -- Boyd Stephen Smith Jr. ,= ,-_-. =. bss03@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx ((_/)o o(\_)) ICQ: 514984 YM/AIM: DaTwinkDaddy `-'(. .)`-' http://iguanasuicide.org/ \_/
