Good catch!
Nevertheless, if I set GIT_EDITOR to "notepad", 'git rebase -i' works to
some degree. Leaving aside that it does not understand LF line endings, it
opens the git-rebase-todo file; I can edit and save it. That is, it looks
like a usable Windows style path was passed to Notepad. (This is with
MinGW git, of course.)
But I can't use "Save As": Notepad just responds with "Error #3002". I
would attribute this to the forward slashes in the absolute path name, and
that the file dialog can't cope with them. Personally, I don't think this
is a big deal: We have heard of people who set GIT_EDITOR to something
Windows-y, but there were no complaints of the kind I mention in this
paragraph. (Why should there be any? There is no reason to use "Save As"
when git invokes an editor.)
