While downloading git, I was asked to name a default editor, which I
did: ed. from cygwin. It worked in the enuing test, but was rejected
because it returned an error. I suppose this is because
cygwin return  conventions are those of Unix, not Windows. That raises
the question: does it matter? Does any other part of git depend on the
editor's return value?
