RE: --non-interactive still invokes editor?

I happened to stumble on this behaviour this afternoon.

The expected behaviour for me of --non-interactive, is that the command is
never waiting for manual user interaction, not by waiting for a password,
in an editor etc. Using --non-interactive with a missing commit log message
would mean that that command just fails.

If you decide otherwise, please provide an option later on that has this
behaviour ;)

thanks,

Lieven.

You're right, Uli. It seems that --non-interactive currently means "don't
prompt for authentication" and nothing else. It has no effect on *any*
subcommand's ability to launch $EDITOR. (That is, $EDITOR is always
launched, no matter what.)

Developers: should we document --non-interactive more precisely? Or should
we fail to launch $EDITOR in the presence of this option?
