The problem is that gvim returns immediately, and lets the window
opened (try it in a terminal, "gvim foo.txt" returns immediately). 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)


Hello,

Also, a :help nofork leads to gui-fork and guioptions, which tells you that you can add the following to .vimrc (not .gvimrc, see :help go-f):
set guioptions+=f
