t7500: fix GIT_EDITOR shell snippet
2140b140 (commit: error out for missing commit message template, 2011-02-25) defined GIT_EDITOR="echo hello >\"\$1\"" for these two tests, with the intention that 'hello' would be written in the given file, but as Phillip Wood points out, GIT_EDITOR is invoked by shell after getting expanded to sh -c 'echo hello >"$1" "$@"' 'echo hello >"$1"' path/to/file which is not what we want.
