  Hmm it doesn't because I would have to call git commit -v each time I
commit and well I _like_ having the status better. And moreover I want
the diff to go in a separated buffer too.

I've never felt it a problem while editing the log message in Emacs.

Don't enhanced vi implementations let you split the same buffer into
two allowing you to view different portions of it these days?

Yes, certainly with vim, which is what most distributions seem to include
as the enhanced vim.  I have noticed that there seem to be fewer vim users
that figure out these kinds of things than emacs users, though.
