73e25e7c(git --paginate: do not commit pager choice too early, 2010-06-26) failed to take some cases into account. 1b. Builtins that do not use RUN_SETUP (like git config) do not find GIT_DIR set correctly when the pager is launched from run_builtin(). So the core.pager configuration is not honored from subdirectories of the toplevel for them. 4a. External git commands (like git request-pull) relied on the early pager launch to take care of handling the -p option. Ever since73e25e7c, they do not honor the -p option at all. 4b. Commands invoked through ! aliases (like ls) were also relying on the early pager launch. Fix (4a) by launching the pager (if requested) before running such a “dashed external”. For simplicity, this still does not search for a .git directory before running the external command; when run from a subdirectory of the toplevel, therefore, the “[core] pager” configuration is still not honored. Fix (4b) by launching pager if requested before carrying out such an alias. Actually doing this has no effect, since the pager (if any) would have already been launched in a failed attempt to try a dashed external first. The choice-of-pager-not-honored-from- subdirectory bug still applies here, too. (1b) is not a regression. There is no need to fix it yet. Noticed by Junio.

GIT - the stupid content tracker
////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
"git" can mean anything, depending on your mood.
- random three-letter combination that is pronounceable, and not
actually used by any common UNIX command. The fact that it is a
mispronunciation of "get" may or may not be relevant.
- stupid. contemptible and despicable. simple. Take your pick from the
dictionary of slang.
- "global information tracker": you're in a good mood, and it actually
works for you. Angels sing, and a light suddenly fills the room.
- "goddamn idiotic truckload of sh*t": when it breaks
Git is a fast, scalable, distributed revision control system with an
unusually rich command set that provides both high-level operations
and full access to internals.
Git is an Open Source project covered by the GNU General Public License.
It was originally written by Linus Torvalds with help of a group of
hackers around the net. It is currently maintained by Junio C Hamano.
Please read the file INSTALL for installation instructions.
See Documentation/gittutorial.txt to get started, then see
Documentation/everyday.txt for a useful minimum set of commands, and
Documentation/git-commandname.txt for documentation of each command.
If git has been correctly installed, then the tutorial can also be
read with "man gittutorial" or "git help tutorial", and the
documentation of each command with "man git-commandname" or "git help
commandname".
CVS users may also want to read Documentation/gitcvs-migration.txt
("man gitcvs-migration" or "git help cvs-migration" if git is
installed).
Many Git online resources are accessible from http://git-scm.com/
including full documentation and Git related tools.
The user discussion and development of Git take place on the Git
mailing list -- everyone is welcome to post bug reports, feature
requests, comments and patches to git@vger.kernel.org. To subscribe
to the list, send an email with just "subscribe git" in the body to
majordomo@vger.kernel.org. The mailing list archives are available at
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=git and other archival sites.
The messages titled "A note from the maintainer", "What's in
git.git (stable)" and "What's cooking in git.git (topics)" and
the discussion following them on the mailing list give a good
reference for project status, development direction and
remaining tasks.
