BTW - would 'git config --global core.editor zile' or 'git config
--global core.editor /usr/bin/zile' the right way to set it (both did
not work)? I can start Zile simply with 'zile' on the command line.
What do you mean by "did not work"? Does the launching fail? Or is
another editor launched?
Try:
GIT_TRACE=true git commit -a
to see what's going on.
BTW, you may also try "emacs -nw -Q" instead of zile.
