This was added in d2ecfb9 / Homebrew/homebrew#12784 to fix a bug repotted in Homebrew/homebrew#12779, but at that time we were invoking the editor via `system` rather than `exec`. Now we are using exec, and running it through an interactive shell seems to cause other problems, for example, emacs does not suspend/resume properly. Fixes Homebrew/homebrew#32328.
