I like what it wants to do but I am afraid this leads to an
unmaintainable code (a micronit that already shows what I mean
is that you can say "git --paginate diff", but you cannot say
"pd = --paginate diff" in the configuration file).

Is there a cleaner way to do it without duplicating the argument
loop of git.c::main()?
