Coincidentally, I was annoyed enough to write the following program
sometime last week. I was sick of messing with Notepad or Notepad++
as the git editor (and don't feel like learning vim just to write a
commit message), so I took 10 minutes to write this, packaged it up
with py2exe and pointed git at it. Works like a charm for me!

"""Simple commit message tool.
Dead simple tkinter GUI for writing commit messages for git without messing
around with Notepad's line ending stupidity or Notepad++ being open or not.
