Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

A user reported to me a problem when commiting something in mercurial.
After some investigation, the issue comes from the fact that he has a
space in its $HOME variable (don't ask me why :P). Thus those lines:

    # Ensure that $HOME/.selected_editor is writeable
    touch $HOME/.selected_editor || exit 1

fail because the path is not quoted.

I think that surrounding '$HOME/.selected_editor' with double quotes
will solve the issue (there might be other issues of the same kind in
the script).

Thank you.
