Or use the industry standard *grin* : pipe through $PAGER, defaulting to
the "more" binary in your path.  (Windows?)  And perhaps a separate
variable DARCS_PAGER_LINES to specify the cut-off X: if the patch is
less than X lines, don't call $PAGER.

I think the git people have had a similar discussion on their mailing
list a long time ago; search the git mailing list.
