A good commit message should always answer the question "why?". In this
case, I really don't see why this is needed. If you don't like Git's
auto-paginate feature, turn it off with core.pager or pager.<cmd>. If
you like it, you very rarely need --no-pager (IIRC, I'm the one who
introduced --no-pager, and I don't think I've ever used it outside a
script).
So, I'd rather keep -P free in case we need it later for something
really useful (or possibly a better commit message).
