Hi,

I received the notification to update to the latest 2.19.0.

When the installer asks for a default editor, it defaults to vim and when I select either VS Code option, it won't allow me to proceed.

I've reproduced this on two machines. VS Code is up to date on both machines.

Both machines: Windows 10 Latest VS Code (production)

It sounds like this is an issue pertaining to Git for Windows, which uses an issue tracker that is separate from the mailing list here. Their tracker is at [1], but I'm cc-ing the maintainer here to let him know.

Thanks, Taylor
