I'll add my voice to this as well and it's not just to preserve existing
behavior. I think  git's default (is it even configurable  with git?) to
automatically page everything is one of its most annoying features. If I
want a  pager, I'll pipe it  to a pager.  Otherwise, just dump it  to my
terminal, thank you.

That won't work with commands that need to take input from the terminal, 
especially if an editor is invoked (e.g. "fossil commit").


There's the "fsl" script that allows you to handle interactive commands 
specially, but that's not KISS anymore.

My 2 cents.  Many of us use f-alias to deal with fossil in a terminal,
right? Then why not f-function?

SYNOPSIS

unalias f

f(){ fossil "$@" | more ; }

or
f(){ fossil "$@" | less -FRSXQ ; }

if you like more 'less' then 'more' :) Then try

f help commit
f timeline -n 100

IMHO, KISS is just to put such an 1-liner in your ~/.profile if you need
the pager.

Thanks for Fossil!
