This provides a way to use commands like :Git hash-object --stdin
without a PTY, which is not to say that there are any such commands that
one would actually want to use. It also has debugging applications.
This function was intended to avoid the press ENTER prompt for brief
output, but the new :Git job based runner now does that more
effectively. Remove all old uses of it except the U map, which I am
electing to keep quiet on older versions of Vim.
Rip the band-aid off now so we can reclaim it for something else sooner
rather than later.
If you're trying to support both old and new versions of Fugitive,
exists('*FugitiveConfigGetAll') will be true on versions where
--paginate is supported. In a pinch you can also swap in :Gsplit!, but
that's eventually going away too.
The experience without a PTY is pretty lackluster, and if you're using a
GUI or Windows, there's probably nothing stopping you from upgrading to
a version of Vim with job support.
Use temp buffer for output of any command for which the Git
configuration option of pager.<command> is true. Avoid using a temp
buffer if the value is false, even for commands like "show" where we
normally would. If the configuration value is present and can't be
interpreted as a Boolean, punt to a :terminal where Git will invoke it
directly.
Generate and use custom config dictionary that includes -c values passed
to :Git. This enables `:Git -c pager.status status` to correctly use a
pager.
Paginate "config", "branch", and "tag" for certain argument lists,
matching the logic found in the Git source code as closely as possible.
These 3 commands were identified as having special pagination logic by
the presence of the DELAY_PAGER_CONFIG flag on their definitions in
git.c.
Paginate "am --show-current-patch".

The long term goal is to use :Gsomecommand for commands that wrap
Vim built-ins (e.g., :Gedit for :edit), :Git some-command for commands
that wrap Git built-ins, and :GSomeCommand for everything else. For
:GRemove, :GDelete, :GMove, and :GRename, this gives us symmetry with
eunuch.vim, and for :GBrowse, this gives us symmetry with a hypothetical
:Browse command that I've long wanted to make a plugin for but probably
never will.
:GcLog and :GlLog get their names because they match Vim's :c and :l
prefixes but bring their own custom suffix. This is rather unsatisfying
and I may change it if something better comes along.
