Subject: [PATCH 5/8] add -i, send-email, svn, p4, etc: use "git var GIT_EDITOR"
Date: Fri, 30 Oct 2009 20:42:34 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20091031014234.GF5160@progeny.tock> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20091031012050.GA5160@progeny.tock>

Use the new "git var GIT_EDITOR" feature to decide what editor to
use, instead of duplicating its logic elsewhere.  This should make
the behavior of commands in edge cases (e.g., editor names with
spaces) a little more consistent.
