It might actually have a rather serious twist. Often the editor for git-commit would use the terminal git-commit runs on. But for git-gui you may not have any terminal (running git-gui from context menu of some file manager) and even if you do, the user does not expect it to be used. So the user may -- and quite often will -- want different editors for running from git-gui and git-commit. -- Jan 'Bulb' Hudec <bulb@xxxxxx>
