Cool, I'll check that.

Yeah, I understood that.

Hmm, I'm not sure what issues this test case would find. If there's a
problem with launch_editor that's something other test case should
find.

If there's no original file it's up to the editor to create one, if
for some reason the editor fails at doing that it's a problem of the
editor, and there's not much 'git config -e' could do except show an
error, and that's what launch_editor would do. Same thing if the
editor is wrong (GIT_EDITOR=blah).

I'll resend.
