Just a note about using BBEdit for editing commit messages: I use '/usr/local/bin/bbedit --wait --resume' for that purpose, mainly to allow the commit message to be written before returning control to the invoking process. The "--wait" means "wait for document to be closed in BBEdit" and "--resume" means "restore focus to the invoking application when the document is closed in BBEdit".
