This fixes the git-send-perl semantics for launching an editor when $GIT_EDITOR (or friends) contains shell metacharacters to match launch_editor() in builtin-tag.c. If we use the current approach (sh -c '$0 $@' "$EDITOR" files ...), we see it fails when $EDITOR has shell metacharacters: $ sh -x -c '$0 $@' "$VISUAL" "foo" + "$FAKE_EDITOR" foo "$FAKE_EDITOR": 1: "$FAKE_EDITOR": not found Whereas builtin-tag.c will invoke sh -c "$EDITOR \"$@\"". Thus, this patch changes git-send-email.perl to use the same method as the C utilities, and additionally updates t/t9001-send-email.sh to test for this bug.
