Thanks.

"proper editor" felt a bit funny, and also it needs to be
documented that it refuses to proceed when the default editor is
unusable, so I'd reword it like this:
diff --git a/Documentation/git-sh-setup.txt b/Documentation/git-sh-setup.txt
index 1ea1faa..505b4c9 100644
--- a/Documentation/git-sh-setup.txt
+++ b/Documentation/git-sh-setup.txt
