I use M-x shell on a regular basis, and have learned to add the following
three items to my .emacs wherever I'm at:

  (setenv "PAGER" "/bin/cat")
  (setenv "EDITOR" "/opt/emacs/bin/emacsclient") ; `which emacsclient`
  (server-start)

Unless you do the first line, programs that like to push things through "less"
or "more" do some pretty nasty things.  And those last two are nice, because
you can use "git-commit" directly in the shell window, and it'll pop up an
emacs buffer.  Read up on emacs-server mode or you won't know how to get out
of it though. :)
