Here's a series that I think should resolve the situation for everybody.

  [1/5]: launch_editor: refactor to use start/finish_command

The cleanup I sent out a few minutes ago.

  [2/5]: launch_editor: ignore SIGINT while the editor has control

Paul's patch rebased on my 1/5.

  [3/5]: run-command: drop silent_exec_failure arg from wait_or_whine
  [4/5]: run-command: do not warn about child death by SIGINT
  [5/5]: launch_editor: propagate SIGINT from editor to git

Act more like current git when the editor dies from SIGINT.
