When pager is in use, git log loads commits lazily when you scroll down.
I find this feature rather crucial for working with any long history, and
I don't see how to achieve this with pipe.
Nvm, passing to less -R makes it pause when needed. I've never realized it
was that simple.
Heh, after all once you realize "git log" internally pipes its
output to the pager, doing the same thing yourself should become
trivial ;-)
