Subject: [PATCH] Allow commit (and tag) messages to be edited when $EDITOR has arguments
Date: Sat, 15 Dec 2007 17:12:01 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20071216011201.GA10867@midwinter.com> (raw)

Users who do EDITOR="/usr/bin/emacs -nw" or similar were left unable to
edit commit messages once commit became a builtin, because the editor
launch code assumed that $EDITOR was a single pathname.

	Looked around but didn't see an existing "build a char* array
	out of a delimited string" function in the git source; if one
	exists, of course it should be used instead of my pair of loops
	here.
