opening an editor from git-gui on a file

opening an editor from git-gui on a file

[Adam GROSZER]

Hi there,

Hopefully sending the question/idea to the right list...

I'm missing the feature to open a (configurable) editor with the 
currently selected file in git gui.

E.g. Looking at

https://cdn.tutsplus.com/net/uploads/legacy/2081_gitwin/git-gui-stage.jpg

I'd like to open my editor with the "request.php".

Any chance to have that? Or do I miss something?

I have this in my .gitconfig:

[guitool "Edit/with GVim"]
        cmd = gvim --remote-tab-silent $FILENAME
        noconsole = yes
        needsfile = yes

Works for me.

HTH,
  Stefan
