 Do we want to support having spaces in your path? It doesn't seem hard
 to fix, but it does seem like the kind of problem that will come up over
 and over again if only a very small set of people have this configuration.

Turns out that while trying to fix the tests, I've found that
git-rebase doesn't like a $VISUAL having spaces, so perhaps this
should be tested more often :) Or should we just require $VISUAL have
no spaces?

I'll send a patch once I've got everything passing.

There was an attempt in the past to make this working. Please look at this
(rather lengthy) thread, in particular, my critique on the patches that
were submitted:

http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/60544

I really would not like to see the same issues that I took the time to
comment on to show up again.
