  Hello.
  You are last commiter of vc-git.el so i'm writing to you.
  
  It's probably a good idea to forcefully disable pager then calling git
  command from vc-git.el.
  If buffer is tramp controlled then git will be run on remote host by
  tramp magic. In this particular case git stdout will be connected to
  pty instead of pipe and default git behavior to call $PAGER in this
  case.
  Which is effectively makes vc-git broken on tramp controlled buffers.
  Patch is attached.
