Okay, I did not know that. Thanks for expanding my world a little.

Yes - the problem is that I do not want to find myself in vi (never have
understood how people can manage to use it), and even though I seem to
recall having added a line to set the appropriate environment variable
to my .bashrc the variable is not set and the line does not seem to be
there.

(As a side note, since the man page doesn't seem to address the question
and it's not the kind of thing I want to just experiment with: is there
any way, once the editor has been invoked, to cancel the commit without
just killing the process?)
