Here's a slightly updated version.

It's identical to the previous one, except that it also feeds the result 
through "| ${PAGER:-less}" which makes it a lot more useful, in my 
opinion.

If you redirect the output to a non-tty, both "less" and "more" do the 
right thing and just feed the output straight through. But if the output 
is a tty, this makes "git log" a lot more friendly than a quickly 
scrolling mess..
