My co-worker is visually impaired, and he uses a custom emacs.  His
EDITOR is set to something like "~/bin/xemacs -nw".  When git-commit
runs, it complains:

% git-commit
git-commit: line 582: ~/bin/xemacs -nw: No such file or directory

So, I fiddled with the following line in git-commit:

        ${VISUAL:-${EDITOR:-vi}} "$GIT_DIR/COMMIT_EDITMSG"

and changed it to:

        eval ${VISUAL:-${EDITOR:-vi}} "$GIT_DIR/COMMIT_EDITMSG"

and it seems to work as I would expect in this case.

Is this a reasonable fix?
