[PATCH Cogito] Use cg-commit -E to invoke editor and always commit

Hi Petr,

the attached patch introduces the -E parameter to cg-commit and then uses it in cg-init. If you use -E instead of -e the editor is invoked and it will do the commit even it the default commit messages has not been changed.

Regards
Marcel
