Git’s automatic pagination support has some subtleties. Add some
tests to make sure we don’t break:
- when git will use a pager by default;
- the effect of the --paginate and --no-pager options;
- the effect of pagination on use of color;
- how the choice of pager is configured.
This does not yet test:
- use of pager by scripted commands (git svn and git am);
- effect of the pager.* configuration variables;
- setting of the LESS variable.
Some features involve checking whether stdout is a terminal, so many
of these tests are skipped unless output is passed through to the
terminal (i.e., unless $GIT_TEST_OPTS includes --verbose).
The immediate purpose for these tests was to avoid making things worse
after the breakage from my jn/editor-pager series (see commit 376f39,
2009-11-20). Thanks to Sebastian Celis <sebastian@sebastiancelis.com>
for the report.
