A possibility is to phrase it like so:

and fill %s with the program you'd use if not given, i.e. initially
the value of the GIT_PAGER but updated to the last used program
after the user uses "|<program>" form to specify one.
The value of GIT_PAGER (or the <program>) can be a rather long string,
so it would have to be stripped down to the base command, but it would
be rather error-prone and the printed information would become much
less
informative that way.
I'd probably just say $GIT_PAGER instead of its expansion if we were
go that route.
Makes sense to me. More precisely, the environment should be checked
to see is it "$GIT_PAGER" or "$PAGER" that needs to be printed literally
as part of the help message.
