Linus Torvalds	34fd1c9ac5	git-log produces no output ... When $PAGER is set to 'less -i', we used to fail because we assumed the $PAGER is a command and simply exec'ed it. Try exec first, and then run it through shell if it fails. This allows even funkier PAGERs like these ;-): PAGER='sed -e "s/^/`date`: /" | more' PAGER='contrib/colordiff.perl | less -RS' Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>	2006-04-21 13:00:10 -07:00
Johannes Schindelin	402461aab1	pager: do not fork a pager if PAGER is set to empty. ... This skips an extra pipe, and helps debugging tremendously. [jc: PAGER=cat is a questionable hack and should be done as a separate patch. ] Signed-off-by: Johannes Schindelin <Johannes.Schindelin@gmx.de> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>	2006-04-16 01:40:04 -07:00
Linus Torvalds	f67b45f862	Introduce trivial new pager.c helper infrastructure ... This introduces the new function void setup_pager(void); to set up output to be written through a pager applocation. All in preparation for doing the simple scripts in C. Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>	2006-02-28 14:49:32 -08:00
