[Bug 1100415] Re: "git commit" fails if gedit is already opened
This bug still exists and is not just a configuration issue. If you set
the global git configuration to core.editor="gedit -w -s", you will get
the following result:
jonathan@Aristotle:~/EclipseWorkspaces/AGI$ git commit -sS --status
Failed to register: GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.UnknownMethod: Method "DescribeAll" with signature "" on interface "org.gtk.Actions" doesn't exist
error: There was a problem with the editor 'gedit -w -s'.
Please supply the message using either -m or -F option.
This will happen whether gedit is already open or not.

Title:
"git commit" fails if gedit is already opened
Status in gedit package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
Steps to reproduce:
1) Open gedit
2) Go to git directory
3) Change a tracked file (file.c)
4) Execute "git add file.c"
5) Set gedit as default editor with "git config --global core.editor gedit"
5) Then "git commit"
Expected result:
gedit opens, user adds comment, saves the file and successfully ends commit:
"[master 31c21eb] USER COMMENT GOES HERE
1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-)"
Current result:
After gedit is opened git immediately outputs following message:
"Aborting commit due to empty commit message."
It's a common issue when using gedit with git; not related to Linux
distro or its architecture (x86 or x86-64)
