git request-pull called inside a terminal prints part of the output to

Hmph, I have always thought this was meant to be a feature.
That is, you run it to yourself, instead of piping it to a file or "| mail
torvalds", in order to sanity check before you actually do the latter.
When the request is larger than a screenful, you would want a pager while
reviewing.
Admittedly, I do not regularly use request-pull, so I wouldn't know if use
of the pager is inconvenient to people who have to use this feature
regularly. Your patch could be addressing a real usability issue.
But I have this nagging suspicion that you may be lacking F (or FX) from
your LESS environment variable?
