EDITOR environmental variable cannot be path surrounded by quotes. Bad error message.

[amicitas]

This has only been tested on windows.
bazaar v1.13

If the value of the EDITOR environmental variable is a path surrounded by quotes, commit will fail.
The error message given is not useful.

At the very least a error should be given stating the value of EDITOR is not valid.

Here is the terminal output.
Here three attempts are tried:
  1. EDITOR set to valid path, but with quotes.
  2. EDITOR set in invalid path, no quotes.
  3. EDITOR set to valid path, no quotes.
