Is the paging configurable in Git? I would assume so, but I'm not sure.

It probably should just accept unambiguous command shortcuts, but you
can at least define aliases for commands in your .gitconfig:

The above also shows using shell aliases which I also use a lot. These
of course can also be used with hg (which while on the topic is easier
to type than git.)

I think git pull --rebase handles that pretty well, allowing you to
edit your local commits in case of merge conflicts, so that in the end
it looks like you committed over the updated code from remote.
