Subject: [PATCH] git-svn: don't attempt to spawn pager if we don't want one
Date: Fri, 21 Sep 2007 18:48:45 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20070922014845.GA8087@mayonaise> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <a9691ee20709211640q63881718k75ebf416bf5e217f@mail.gmail.com>

Even though config_pager() unset the $pager variable, we were
blindly calling exec() on it through run_pager().
