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.
