(Get the code!)
I think there is a general split in the community. There are people who really wish the command would automatically bring up a pager, and then there are people like me who would really hate that. (My terminal has a scrollback, let me use it, most pagers work in bad ways with the terminal's own scrolling.) If it is really long, I probably want 'bzr XXX | gvim -R -' anyway, but I wouldn't want bzr automatically popping up gui windows.
Anyway... long story is, if we do allow this, we also need a way to disable it for people that don't want it. I'm fine going with consensus as to what the 'default' should be.
