In commit dec543e (am -i, git-svn: use "git var GIT_PAGER"), I tried to teach git svn to defer to git var on what pager to use. In the process, I introduced two bugs:

 - The value set for $pager in config_pager has local scope, so
   run_pager never sees it;
 - git var cannot tell whether git svn’s output is going to a
   terminal, so the value chosen for $pager does not reflect that
   information.
Fix them.
