FWIW, I disable git's autopaging, and pipe such commands to a pager manually, so I didn't notice this. However, I also mostly use mr log in a leaf repository as a way to access the VCS log without remembering what the VCS is. I agree that it probably makes sense to have mr log disable git autopaging, and possibly to have it then page things itself. Merging logs has been suggested before, but it requires considerably more VCS-specific code than the rest of mr has. -- see shy jo
