Ditto. For me, the change was very welcome. Sure, usually the status  
output is short, but on those occasions where it isn't (big file  
reorganizations etc) I was quite sick of doing the "git status, oops  
that output was too long let's try again, git -p status" dance. It was  
also incongruous with my very first experiences with Git, where I had  
been pleasantly surprised that "git log" automatically invoked the  
pager whereas "svn log" just spewed output into my console until ^C.

Cheers,
