For instance, git_editor in git-sh-setup expects the editor path to be
pre-quoted.  So in t3404, you need to produce escaped double quotes &
dollar signs, resulting in unpleasantness like this :

VISUAL="`pwd`/fake-editor.sh"
VISUAL=${VISUAL//\"/\\\"}
VISUAL=${VISUAL//$/\\\$}
VISUAL=\"$VISUAL\"
export VISUAL

EDITORPWD="`pwd`"
VISUAL='$EDITORPWD/fake-editor.sh'
export EDITORPWD VISUAL

Pffffft.

VISUAL='"$EDITORPWD/fake-editor.sh"'

of course.  Or we still have problems with spaces in pwd.
