I've used a source control system which ran as an interactive command line
program, with rudimentary editing facilities for log messages built in (as
well as being able to invoke an editor). The nice thing about it was that
it had escape sequences, like tilde escapes in "mail". The most useful one
was the ability to call up the messages for earlier files and use them as
a basis for the current one. That might be hard to do with a separate
editor
process, unless it had access to a set of temporary files containing the
texts.
