[PATCH] builtin-tag.c: allow arguments in $EDITOR

From: Luciano Rocha <hidden>
Date: 2016-06-15 22:44:00
Subsystem: the rest · Maintainer: Linus Torvalds

The previous sh version of git-commit evaluated the value of the defined
editor, thus allowing arguments.

Make the builtin version work the same, by adding an explicit check for
arguments in the editor command, and extract them to an additional argument.

I personally use EDITOR="gvim -f", thus this patch.
