You said the behavior was unintrusive. It is not unintrusive if the
PAGER setting is "less", which is a common configuration. The fact that
there is a workaround does not make the proposed new Subversion behavior
any less intrusive.

Also, your proposed workaround is itself intrusive, since it may not be
what the user wants for programs like "man" which already use PAGER.
