aha! I figured out why journalctl's auto-pager bugs me when git's doesn't (and possible solution)

BTW, I hope that journald will allow doing the equivalent of

tail -f /var/log/**

This would be tricky during the transition when some programs will still 
use /var/log/xxx files and some will go through journald. Sort of like 
currently dmesg working differently than /var/log/* files (I keep making 
the mistake of 'tail dmesg'/'less dmesg').
