Yes, GUIs seem to be too dangerous. I love the command-line for committing. I don't provide a message. This deliberately open my text editor where i can create/paste my message. Importantly this enables me to simply quit the editor without writing, which enables me to abort the commit. It is incredible how often i use that feature. The act of committing seems to make one think more about the consequences. -David
