Thanks for the review :-)
Actually, I meant to bikeshed one part but forgot. ;)

I found "waiting for editor input" to be a funny way of saying this. I
input to the editor, the editor does not input to Git. :)
Maybe "waiting for your editor finish" or something would make more
sense?
May be the good "Launched editor. Waiting ..." message, that was used in a previous version, itself makes sense?
Perfect bikeshed topic :-)

I would like to add "for your input" or "for you" to convey 
that Git is not waiting for the machine but for the user.

    "hint: Launched editor. Waiting for your input..."

Would that work for you?

Thanks,
Lars
