Overriding PAGER might make sense, but I'd be quite annoyed if Git decided to override MANPAGER without providing some way to override it. If a user sets MANPAGER then it's because they want a specific pager when reading man pages - invoking man through "git help" shouldn't cause it to behave differently in this case. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
