Musings:
`git log` starts a pager by default if the log is too long to fit the
terminal height, which I maybe like better than either `darcs changes`
or `darcs changes -i`.
An implicit pager suits inexperienced users if (alas) they can figure
out that `q` is the way to exit the pager (None of the following exit
`less`: Ctrl-C, Esc, Ctrl-Q, Ctrl-W).
Putting text in a pager means it won't appear in my terminal's
scrollback history, which is sometimes a blessing and sometimes a curse.
Other than that, I like `less`'s interface.
(Don't mind me, I mostly use Git these days.)
