Re: [PATCH/RFC] Fix for default pager

Tor Arntsen [off-list ref] writes:

AIX doesn't come with 'less', because it doesn't really need one.
'more' on AIX can page backwards/forwards in piped data (unlike 'more'
on Linux etc.), thus negating the most common need for installing
'less' elsewhere.

Less has about a zillion features that more [traditionally] doesn't
have, and even some of the more esoteric ones can be quite useful for
git.  For instance you can determine in a great deal of detail exactly
how/when/if it clears the screen/shows a prompt/waits for user input
before exiting, etc.
