This is > extremely irritating to me. hmms... I remember you being a Mac user. I'm on 10.4.11 and with LESS=iFMRSXW LESSCHARSET=utf-8 it works as if no pager has been set. Personally, I like the pager because the best part of git-status is at the top, so if I hit git-status thats the one I want to see.
