[RFC PATCH 0/1] git: pager behaviour

[Matthew Bystrin]

I've recently discovered that launching `--edit` with `--paginate` breaks
everything. Is this an expected behaviour? I proposed a possible solution in
this patch. However it is turned out that situation with pager is more
complicated than expected.

This patch does not fix `notes` command and even does not pass "t7006.24 git tag
-a respects --paginate" test. Interesting point to mention is that `notes edit`
command can be also broken with `-c pager.notes=1`.

Relates: cd878a206e8c (t7006: add tests for how git config paginates)

[RFC PATCH 1/1] git: ignore paginate for commands with DELAY_PAGER_CONFIG

[Matthew Bystrin]

Calling commands using editor in terminal with `--paginate` option break
things. For example `git --paginate config --edit`. Add extra check to
ignore paginate flag in case command have DELAY_PAGER_CONFIG set.
