It already does so for me. "GIT_PAGER=uc git help -a | cat" where
"uc" is a custom "pager" that is "tr '[a-z]' '[A-Z]'" does not show
things in ucase, but without piping to cat, the output is in ucase
as expected. Perhaps there is something different between what we
are doing.
FWIW, I am not on Windows or on a Mac.
