The construct
sh -c "$0 \"$@\"" <editor> <file>
does not pick up quotes in <editor>, so you cannot give path to the
editor that has a shell IFS whitespace in it, and also give it initial
set of parameters and flags. Replace $0 with <editor> to fix this issue.
This fixes
git config core.editor '"c:/Program Files/What/Ever.exe"'
In other words, you can specify an editor with spaces in its path using a
config containing something like this:
[core]
editor = \"c:/Program Files/Darn/Spaces.exe\"
NOTE: we cannot just replace the $0 with \"$0\", because we still want
this to work:
[core]
editor = emacs -nw

The git wrapper executable always prepends the GIT_EXEC_PATH build
variable to the current PATH, so prepending "." to the PATH is not
enough to give precedence to the fake vi executable.
The --exec-path option allows to prepend a directory to PATH even before
GIT_EXEC_PATH (which is added anyway), so we can use that instead.

These variables let you specify an editor that will be launched in
preference to the EDITOR and VISUAL environment variables. The order
of preference is GIT_EDITOR, core.editor, EDITOR, VISUAL.
