TextMate as an editor for google docs

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. google docs edit --title "Test Document" --editor 'mate -w'

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
I expect it to open up a new textmate window like SVN does, etc.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system? What
gdata-python-client 2.0.10
googlecl 0.9.7

I haven't been able to test TextMate or Mac specifically, but the problem may 
be your inclusion of the -w flag. Including flags will definitely cause an 
otherwise valid value for --editor to fail. Can you try with just --editor mate 
and see if it works? Or is the -w flag necessary?

If --editor mate works, I'll update this issue to read "include flags in 
--editor option"

Simply calling edit with --editor mate doesn't seem to work.  googlecli exits 
execution stating that no modifications have been made.  The "-w" option for 
textmate would tell Textmate to wait for the file to be closed.

I haven't tested this with TextMate, but I think I got the underlying problem. 
I've attached a patch against 0.9.11, please let me know if it doesn't work for 
TextMate.
