I suppose I can do git config --global core.editor notepad
However, this really only addresses my second concern.

My first concern is that using a text editor at all seems like
overkill in many scenarios.

Nobody stops you from writing a "type whatever you want; I won't let
you edit any mistakes as I am not even a text editor; just hit
RETURN when you are done, as you can only write a single line"
program and set it as your GIT_EDITOR.

I do not know what would happen when you need "git commit --amend",
though.
