From 5e2de4f9bb666186e4f8ba0c9c5db640fd7a04bd Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Junio C Hamano Date: Sat, 22 Dec 2007 09:45:10 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] Fix $EDITOR regression introduced by rewrite in C. When git-tag and git-commit launches the editor, they used to honor EDITOR="editor -options args..." but recent rewrite in C insisted on $EDITOR to be the path to the editor executable. This restores the older behaviour.
