This is not really about Git, and it's certainly not a "plugin".
That's why I put the word in quotes. I think we all know what the
relationship between git and editor is in this case and I didn't want
to waste words to formulate this more precisely for no benefit.
Obeying EDITOR is required by POSIX e.g. see
https://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9699919799/utilities/crontab.html#t...
Note that POSIX says "The default editor shall be vi." But that means
when EDITOR isn't set. If the system or a user sets EDITOR to
something else, it's still POSIX-conforming.
Personally, I don't care so much about what POSIX says. But not to worry:
in this case $EDITOR *will* be set, so we're all POSIX-compliant ;)
