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

thats not the point

the point is that tail, grep, less, more, wathever-pager-you-use
can be stucked with nearly any console-application in any
creative way BUT the same way for all

if i want a pager - i use a pager

[root at srv-rhsoft:~]$ which systemctl
alias systemctl='/bin/systemctl --no-pager --full'
        /bin/systemctl

sad that you need to use aliases to get the normal unix.behavior
some tools like git doing not so is no excusion because this
sounds like "i do it wrong because some others do too"
