This is a fun one.  IIRC, we decide to spawn a pager and run our
output via pipe thru it fairly early, even before we figure out
which subcommand is being run (especially if you do "git -p
subcommand"), which by definition is way before we know if that
subcommand wants to let the user edit things with the editor.
