    I considered core.editor, but if it's an editor that is *only*  
used for commit messages then that seems to be a too-general name, and  
something like core.commit_message_editor seemed far too long. Any  
suggestions?

    I had forgotten about "git tag -a" -- I will add support for that  
as well.
