From what I read here, adding a command line option -e/--edit to open the 
editor with the specified message would suffice.  I suggest -e/--edit because 
it is the git option to do the same.

Pass could easily do the same for “git commit” --template and/or --message 
options.

The "git log” command does this already for a directory or a file, if you 
specify it.  Like the --edit above, this could be a pass command (extension?) 
that makes “pass history example.com” a wrapper for “git log 
~/.password-store/example.com”.
