Starting a pager defeats the purpose of the incremental output
mode.  This changes git-blame to only paginate if --incremental
was not given.

I should have done this myself when I applied Linus's patch.
Thanks for catching.

Although I'd apply it anyway, strictly speaking, I think this
patch should not matter because any real Porcelain would be
using this as an upstream of a pipe to its drawing engine.

Well, unless that Porcelain drives --incremental through a pair
of ptys, but I do not think it is likely ;-).

Ha!, didn't think of that.  I still like it more without a pager
even if run on a terminal, because then you can *see* that it's
really incremental (without needing to unset PAGER).  I'm a
non-believer. ;-)
