Oh right; I ... yeah, something. (I've got no excuse for mis-thinking
that one.)

It does expand the $@ when I add it explicitly to core.editor though. Maybe
it's the ""s. I'll have to figure out how to compile git for Windows
to try a patch.

Oddly enough, if I remove the : from the file path, it does work as
expected. Adding the : back introduces the faulty behavior described
earlier.
