If you have spaces in the path to your editor, you should quote in the definition of the editor: git config core.editor '"c:/Program Files/What/Ever.exe"' Thus, by putting extra quotes will break things for people who uses some their favorite editor with extra options and for those who already use an editor from c:/Program Files on Windows. > diff --git a/git-send-email.perl b/git-send-email.perl > index 9e568bf..40a521a 100755 > --- a/git-send-email.perl > +++ b/git-send-email.perl > @@ -512,7 +512,7 @@ EOT > close(C); > > my $editor = $ENV{GIT_EDITOR} || Git::config(@repo, "core.editor") || $ENV{VISUAL} || $ENV{EDITOR} || "vi"; > - system('sh', '-c', '$0 $@', $editor, $compose_filename); > + system('sh', '-c', '"$0" $@', $editor, $compose_filename); See above. > > open(C2,">",$compose_filename .
