This environment variable overrides `$PAGER`.

'GIT_TRACE'::
If this variable is set git will print `trace:` messages on
If this variable is set to "1", "2" or "true" (comparison
is case insensitive), git will print `trace:` messages on
stderr telling about alias expansion, built-in command
execution and external command execution.
If this variable is set to an integer value greater than 1
and lower than 10 (strictly) then git will interpret this
value as an open file descriptor and will try to write the
trace messages into this file descriptor.
Alternatively, if this variable is set to an absolute path
(starting with a '/' character), git will interpret this
as a file path and will try to write the trace messages
into it.
