This line comes from "git commit" whenever launch_editor() fails. I wonder if we'd be better to recommend that the user sets up a working editor instead. The message is certainly unhelpful when we run "git commit" from "git cherry-pick/merge/rebase/revert" where we want to seed the message that the user edits.
error: could not commit staged changes. $ git rebase --continue -m "done" ... $ git rebase --continue -F "done ffs" ... It should say: Please commit the staged changes using git commit -m "commit message"
I don't think that is a good idea when "git commit" is being run from "git rebase". In that case we want to preserve the original message and authorship and using '-F' or '-m' would not do that.
