Hi,

On Wed, 4 Feb 2009, Felipe Contreras wrote:
The idea was originated by discussion about usability of manually
editing the config file in 'special needs' systems such as Windows. Now
the user can forget a bit about where the config files actually are.
Cute...

This line is getting way too long...  (Not nit-picking your current patch, 
but maybe you could provide another patch to break the line, while you're 
at builtin-config.c already.  Maybe even parseopt'ifying it... ;-)

Does launch_editor() not take a 'const char *' on purpose?  IOW you do not 
need to xstrdup() the filename.  You do not even need git_pathdup(), as 
launch_editor() does not use git_path() itself.

However, a test case would be nice...
