I think that would be most end-user friendly.

That would be easier for lazy developers, but not as end-user
friendly as giving it to individual commands, I would think.

We prefer not to use new environment variable unless there is a
clear advantage.  Consider GIT_DIR etc. that were added early in
Git's history as historical mistakes.
