)BTW - it might be worth mentioning in the CG that "git cl upload
)origin/master" at one point fires you into vi.  For windows users, that's a
)bit of an issue - took me a couple of searches to confirm it was vi, and
)then find the way of saving and exiting.
)

Not necessarily, when I tried it the first time fired me into some other editor 
(can't remember what it was but it looked like an 'info' type window). I had to 
change it myself to 'vi' because I prefer that. 

So that might be specific to your install.

The CG does tell you how to change your editor - at least that is where I got 
the information form to do it.

http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.13/Documentation/contributor/setting-up

The example we give is nano.

git config --global core.editor nano

and you'll see an explicit TODO from 'mp' to give instructions for Windows on 
the next line although I don't think that is what you are asking is it? I guess 
if someone is getting to stage of using git-cl in a terminal is there a level 
of expectation on knowing how to use or what vi/editor_of_choice is?
