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
