So if someone doesn't have this set, then what would
{{{
hg_sage.log()
}}}
do? I tremble to think of the brand-new developer, who is not sure how to
set up hg as an alias, trying this and being deluged by thousands of
changes... At any rate, hg_sage.[tab] things should continue behaving as
they have in this respect, using either 'more' or 'less' as the default (I
don't know which it is, though). If the pager option breaks this, it
should be a no-go in my opinion.
