[PATCH 2/2] git-p4: fix handling of multi-word P4EDITOR

From: Luke Diamand <luke@diamand.org>
Date: May 7, 2015, 17:25 UTC
Message-ID: <1431019501-30807-3-git-send-email-luke@diamand.org>
In-Reply-To: <1431019501-30807-1-git-send-email-luke@diamand.org>

This teaches git-p4 to pass the P4EDITOR variable to the shell for expansion, so that any command-line arguments are correctly handled. Without this, git-p4 can only launch the editor if P4EDITOR is solely the path to the binary, without any arguments.
