New description:
This is a followup to #12058. When you run `hg_sage.log()` in Sage, it
runs the command `hg` which has been installed in `SAGE_LOCAL/bin`. It
does not run `sage --hg`. Therefore, because of the changes in #12058,
the variable `HGPLAIN` is set to "yes", so the pager is turned off. We
should instead either run `sage --hg` or unset `HGPLAIN` when running
commands using `hg_sage`.
------
Suggestion: apply [attachment:trac_12288-sage-hg.patch] (rather than
[attachment:trac_12288-unset-HGPLAIN.patch]).

Comment:
I think that approach 1 is better, since then we can further modify how
Sage's hg is used by customizing the `sage-sage` script, as in #12058.
