Re: [PATCH] git-svn: Allow using arguments to the editor.

When setting the EDITOR or VISUAL environment variable, one might want
to hand over arguments (like e.g. for not backgrounding a GUI editor but
waiting for it to finish. This patch enables that posibility, before it
did look for a program with the content of the variable, including the
space as filename part. The change is in sync with regular behavior with
various other tools, git itself included.

I haven't had time to follow up on it (and decide on a command-name),
but the thread starts here:
