Yeah. Doing:
eval '$browser_cmd'
will do the whitespace-breaking we want, but it won't interpret actual
shell magic characters, which we need in order to be compatible with
other parts of git (which typically use "sh -c ..."). E.g.:
foo=worked
browser_cmd='echo $foo'
# fail
$browser_cmd
# fail
eval '$browser_cmd'
# works
eval "$browser_cmd"
