I quite disagree. Terminal output is C&P friendly. Pager output tends to
disappear with the pager. That's a real world UX issue I have with the
git default settings.
Pager output disappearing with the pager (I assume when asking the pager
to exit) is an issue with the pager.
As Fossil is a single binary to do everything approach, I'm sure that a
Fossil pager would not suffer this defect.
Yes, terminals have scroll bars and can page up, but that's the wrong
approach as well.
When viewing a diff I want to start at the top and scroll down, not
start at the bottom and scroll up, hence a pager makes perfect sense.
