Although paged output is generally nice, I frequently find myself
typing --no-pager numerous times during the day, so I, for one,
welcome having a short option (and would be sad to see this patch
retracted). As with Hannes, I too find -P a reasonably intuitive and
easy-to-remember short option.
Yeah, we often see in other people's tools that the -X option means
opposite of the -x option, and even though "git --paginate" may not
have short-and-sweet "git -p" short-hand (or does it?) it would be
natural to expect "-p" to mean that, and I do not find it a stretch
for "-P" to mean opposite of it by extension.

Ah, "-p" does mean "--paginate", it seems.  So I am not opposed to
resurrecting the patch with s/N/P/, if that is what people want.  On
the other hand, I am perfectly OK if the patch stays retracted.
