Hmm, wouldn't it make even more sense to "run" them for the calling
Porcelain script?
A shell script Porcelain can already ". git-sh-setup" and say
git_editor this-file
when it needs to spawn the editor of choice. Your new plumbing support
could make the definition of git_editor in git-sh-setup.sh into something
like:
git_editor() {
git var --run GIT_EDITOR "$@"
}
git_pager() {
git var --run GIT_PAGER "$@"
}
