Every single one of my coworkers who uses Linux had gvim as their default $EDITOR and found git commit working sometimes, and not working others. Since git was new to them, they blamed git, not their $EDITOR. They also felt insulted when I told them their $EDITOR was busted and should be replaced. Someone needs to whack gvim upside the head and fix that program to behave correctly. -- Shawn.
