Re: (minor concern) git using the pager should not be a default

In other words, Porcelain (roughly speaking, those that page by
default when their standard output is terminal), are not "command
line applications"; they have a layer on top with a built-in UI.

Is "status" considered a plumbing layer command?  Because I have often
wondered why it does not use the pager by default.  I pipe it through
less all the time and it's kind of annoying that it works differently
than everything else.
