Public bug reported: Steps to reproduce: 1) Open gedit 2) Go to git directory 3) Change a tracked file (file.c) 4) Execute "git add file.c" 5) Set gedit as default editor with "git config --global core.editor gedit" 5) Then "git commit"
Expected result: gedit opens, user adds comment, saves the file and successfully ends commit: "[master 31c21eb] USER COMMENT GOES HERE 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-)" Current result: After gedit is opened git immediately outputs following message: "Aborting commit due to empty commit message."
