This arrangement to have the third process could even open the possibility
of having it read from git and write to pager, and not launching the pager
if there is no interesting data from git to feed it with.

I do not know if I like the performance implications associated with it,
though.

Ugh. That has definitely been a requested feature, but the thought of
essentially running "cat" in our pipeline strikes me as a bit kludgey.

On the other hand, we are by definition going to the pager in that case,
so in theory performance is less of a consideration.

But see my other mail for why a third process is hard to always do on
Windows.

Heh, this late at night just before going to bed, I am allowed to say that
I do not care about Windows at all ;-).  More dedicated and competent
people will solve it for us while I am sleeping.
