I write the following setting in my .vimrc to avoid the problem:
augroup vimrc-git
autocmd!
autocmd BufRead {COMMIT_EDITMSG,MERGE_MSG,git-rebase-todo,NOTES_EDITMSG}
\ delmarks \" | 1
augroup END
Another option is changing the setting of Git to always open the first line:
$ git config --global core.editor "vim +1"
