Git expects the commit message to be written and saved when $EDITOR returns. A quick search for "wait" in the man pages tells me that GIT_EDITOR='gvim -f' git commit works. (BTW, this is in no way specific to Git, 99% applications calling $EDITOR will expect the same behavior) -- Matthieu Moy http://www-verimag.imag.fr/~moy/ -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
