Looks like 'vi' is set as your default editor. Not the most intuitive
choice. Exit using a colon ':', followed by 'q', then press enter. That
would commit a blank message. If you want a more sane editor without
having to become a total haX0r, set your editor to be GNU nano. Type
'which nano' to find the path to it, then type 'export
EDITOR=/path/to/nano'. You may wish to set this up in your .bash_profile
as well (this all assumes you are using the bash shell).
Hope this helps...
