I think people just use "/^commit .*<RET>" once and then nagivate with "n" (and to change direction, "?<RET>") for this.

I do not think the change to "log" is necessary nor worth it. If the pager is so specialized to be tied to git, it should learn to recognize the output from "git", namely, "git log" and "git log -p" would never have a line that begins with "^commit " that is not the beginning of one record for a commit.

If you are not comfortable using "less", perhaps a program like "tig" that is very specialized for working with git might help you better.
