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.
I was sure somebody will split a hair like that. At that point we
are better off mentioning 'git var' X-<. Or just 'Your Pager'.
I agree that it can be seen as splitting hairs, but the general approach
of Git is accuracy, so using "$GIT_PAGER" regardless of it being used or
not would be simply against the general approach.
Though, I agree that using "pager" or maybe even "your pager" would be
simpler, yet a very good option.
