I've started a non-interactive rebase (of 3 commits) which results in a conflict for the first commit. After resolving the conflict, I've invoked

git rebase --continue

which brings up vim. I would not expect that. The main problem with this behavior is that, when invoked from our GUI client, this results in the client hanging forever. What forces git to open vim and how can I avoid that?

git version 1.7.3.1.msysgit.0
