Yes. Does it work? Yes. Do we want to apply it? You decide. I would not call it ugly. I once consiered to fork another process in between the pager and the caller here and make it buffer "the first screenful" before actually spawning the pager, or write out the short output itself without spawning, to fix the "no output but the cursor goes to the end" problem. THAT's ugly. But I do not think your patch is ugly, and it would help normal people who work in a windowed environment (I did not see the need for it myself since I usually never resize the terminal -- even working inside X my terminals are usually fixed size and are always running "screen"). - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.htmlReceived on Thu Jan 25 10:24:14 2007
