Subject: Proposal about --help options and man calls
Date: Wed, 18 Jul 2007 23:50:23 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <85y7hdwfds.fsf@lola.goethe.zz> (raw)
Frequently, git somecommand --help will call the man command to
display help pages. I think that when it does so, it should pass the
value of the GIT_PAGER variable copied into the PAGER variable: the
paging happens on behalf of git here.
