From f4c2eb8b34571e645336484d2b444261a535faea Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jeff King Date: Thu, 10 Jun 2010 04:59:52 -0400 Subject: [PATCH 1/2] Makefile: default pager on AIX to "more" AIX doesn't ship with "less" by default, and their "more" is more featureful than average, so the latter is a more sensible choice. People who really want less can set the compile-time option themselves, or users can set $PAGER.
