[PATCH 0/2] Re: packaging vs default pager

Would it be completely out of line to provide a knob so that the
fallback $pager could be set to something more specific/appropriate
during the build?

I think that is a sensible thing to do.  Something like this?

 Makefile |    6 ++++++
 pager.c  |    6 +++++-

That looks good to me, but it’s missing a corresponding change to
git-svn.  I think something like this could be useful for Debian to
avoid patching to comply with the distro policy of falling back to
generic "pager" and "editor" symlinks.  How about the following two
patches?

Jonathan Nieder (1):
  Provide a build time default-editor setting

  Provide a build time default-pager setting
