It might have its reason in that it follows the common flow, where 
interactive use of _any_ diff program is _just useless_ unless piped to a 
pager.

And no, redirecting to a file is not interactive.

Can we please stop with those bogus and pointless, not to mention 
uninformed, discussions about design decisions that have been verified to 
be useful, or at least not harmful in any way, for a _long_, _long_ time?

The git list is high volume already, but at least so far it was high 
signal/noise ratio.

Let's keep it that way,
Dscho
