Thank you PJ... yes you are exactly correct. I'm not clear, though,
why the mvim default in this scenario is to open in background.

Solved! (not entirely sure why, though!). Posting the solution here for
future Googlers.
The solution is on
StackOverflow
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4737381/git-editor-not-working-with-macvim
The solution is this configuration:
git config --global core.editor "mvim -f"
Strange thing
Thanks for your suggestion, Thomas, here are the steps that result in the
weird behaviour:
(in an empty git repo...)
echo "bish bash bosh" >> file1.txt
echo "bish bash bosh" >> file2.txt
echo "bish bash bosh" >> file3.txt
git add .
git commit -m "initial commit"
echo "bish bash bosh" >> file4.tx
I haven't experienced this.
Are you maybe doing git rebase -i
.. where is the latest commit in your repo (same as doing git rebase
-i HEAD)?
Usually I rebase like this (if I want to edit the last 5 commits): git
rebase -i HEAD~5
