Make git send-email accept $EDITOR with arguments

hendeby · gitster · commit 0e0278baad87 · 2007-12-22T00:21:30.000-08:00
Currently git send-email does not accept $EDITOR with arguments, eg,
emacs -nw, when starting an editor to produce a cover letter.  This
patch changes this by letting the shell handle the option parsing.
