git's an example. There are various other things that trigger the
default $EDITOR.

As I said, this *literally happened to me*. I don't remember what it
was I did that triggered $EDITOR, but as it was 19 years ago, it
definitely wasn't git. =)

Yes, I was trying to learn and figure things out. But if you are trying
to learn X, suddenly being forced to learn Y *unexpectedly* - you were
not working on text editors today! - with no documentation and not even
knowing what Y *is* exactly, is not a pleasant learning experience. It
is a frustrating roadblock.
