It may even be driving a graphical version of vim---or is it impossible for such a GUI program to exist? As long as such a regression for existing users use is impossible, I think the patch is probably OK, but doing a hardcoded "cat" smells like a very bad hack, compared to a solution on the program's side that *wants* to read the prepared file to arrange that to happen (e.g. via setting the GIT_EDITOR environment to "cat" within that program).
