Good catch! And the reason we didn't notice git-sh-setup is broken is nobody uses git_pager in-tree from that, anymore. However, I suspect we'll have to support it indefinitely due to custom scripts and contrib/examples.

Made the following change for v4:

Good point, but it makes ordering problematic for folks
who want to override it config.mak or command-line.

We may have to do something like we do for BASIC_CFLAGS and
such, but I'm not sure it's worth the effort when somebody
doesn't wants a different value for one of the flags.

Yeah, but I'd rather not introduce more complexity into the
build process, either (unless it's a performance-sensitive part,
which this is not).  Also, while my original 2/2 to make it
configurable at runtime was discarded, I wouldn't rule out
somebody making a compelling case for it and it would be
an easier change from the parse-at-runtime code.
