Thinking about it a bit more, I suspect that we should just let the 'eval'
grab value out of the $browser_cmd variable, i.e.

	eval '$browser_cmd "$@"'

no?

That's a Useless Use of Eval and 100% equivalent to this:

$browser_cmd "$@"

Yeah. Doing:

  eval '$browser_cmd'

will do the whitespace-breaking we want, but it won't interpret actual
shell magic characters, which we need in order to be compatible with
other parts of git (which typically use "sh -c ..."). E.g.:

  foo=worked
  browser_cmd='echo $foo'
  # fail
  $browser_cmd
  # fail
  eval '$browser_cmd'
  # works
  eval "$browser_cmd"
