That would be pair programming with extra steps if you're just reviewing updates and not the whole patch that is going to be merged (and which is stamped with your approval).
Not sure if it's just my age but pair programming seems to have a different meaning these days.
It used to mean that two developers would literally sit next to each other, one would type and one would review as the person typed, then they would repeat.
I guess in the world of remote working it's just not practical any more.
I certainly wouldn't call, one person reviewing another persons code during the merge process pair programming at all.
