This specific example is dumb.  The correct way to do it is

    PAGER=less LESS=is

Indeed, git will actually set LESS=FR (or so) if it is not set.
Perhaps a better example would be

    PAGER='w3m -title'

since unfortunately (AFAIK) w3m provides no better way to get -title
semantics.

PS: Personally I got so sick of apps mishandling arguments and such in
$VISUAL, $BROWSER &c that I just switched to using wrappers:
