My core.editor value in $HOME/.gitconfig is set to [core] editor = vi "+set tw=72 spell" so that I've text width of 72 with spell check turned on. I haven't found problems with any git commands that invoke editor, but notes. 'git notes' seems to invoke the vi for me with 3 separate arguments instead of just one: "+set, tw=72, and spell". In other words, I don't think it honors shell quoting for editor config variable. Could this be a bug? -- Jeenu -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
