From: Gustaf Hendeby Date: Sat, 22 Dec 2007 00:40:52 GMT Subject: [PATCH v3] Make git send-email accept $EDITOR with arguments Message-ID: <1198284052-20590-1-git-send-email-hendeby@isy.liu.se> In-Reply-To: <7vd4sz4uii.fsf@gitster.siamese.dyndns.org> Currently git send-email does not accept $EDITOR with arguments, eg, emacs -nw, when starting an editor to produce a cover letter. This patch changes this by letting the shell handle the option parsing. Signed-off-by: Gustaf Hendeby --- This is based on Junio's suggestion on most readable and compatible solution. I'm not sure if it is identical to the C solution for git tag, but it seems to be a reasonable solution. git-send-email.perl | 2 +- 1 files changed, 1 insertions(+), 1 deletions(-) diff --git a/git-send-email.perl b/git-send-email.perl index 248d035..e47994a 100755 --- a/git-send-email.perl +++ b/git-send-email.perl @@ -400,7 +400,7 @@ EOT close(C); my $editor = $ENV{GIT_EDITOR} || $repo->config("core.editor") || $ENV{VISUAL} || $ENV{EDITOR} || "vi"; - system($editor, $compose_filename); + system('sh', '-c', '$0 $@', $editor, $compose_filename); open(C2,">",$compose_filename .
