Subject: Command specific pager settings

Hi everyone,

I am a new user of git and I was trying to configure the pager for git
and ran across something. Is it possible to have different command
options to less for different git commands?

I wanted to set my pager to `less -iRS' when looking at patches (so
that would mean commands like `git diff'), but would prefer `less
-iFRS' or even the git default `less -FRSX' for all other things e.g
`git log'.

I looked at core.pager and pager.<cmd> but I couldn't understand how I
could set different pagers for say just one/ a subset of commands (git
diff in my case).

Is this possible? If not, would it be a worthwhile feature request?
Thanks a lot for any pointers.
