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.

Thanks for the tip, I found out that:
1. on the command-line, zile actually works as core editor, but
2. not from within Emacs (Magit) where I tried it
"emacs -nw -Q" is a nice tip, but I think what I really would like to
have it that, when I use GNU Emacs Magit and enter a git command
,-----------------------------
| Run git like this: <command>
`-----------------------------
that calls an editor (e.g. commit --amend), the running Emacs instance
is (re)used and a new buffer is opened for editing (instead of starting
another Emacs instance).
