By default, a lot of git commands are piping their command outputs into $PAGER and if $PAGER is not set then pipe into less(1). Since "M-x shell" is a dumb terminal, the best you can do (if you want to stick with M-x shell) is to set your pager to cat(1), but you'll never get the same result than what "git log | less" offers whatever the workaround. You're probably better to use "M-x term" in this case.
