(Triaging old bugs.) Although I agree the default should probably use a pager, for what it's worth, this can be set in the config file as well. The 'diff' variable controls what command is used to diff. By default, it is,
diff = diff -u CURRENT2 CURRENT1 (CURRENT1 and CURRENT2 are magic strings replaced with the two filenames.) You could change this to, diff = diff -u CURRENT2 CURRENT1 | pager -- Mark J. Nelson Anadrome Research http://www.kmjn.org
