When committing files with git, it's possible to use '-e' on the commit
commandline to edit the given message. Unlike the '-e' mode of debcommit,
the git message-editing option provides the 'git status' output in the
editor, which is more useful to the user.

The attached patch will add the '-e' to the 'git commit' commandline instead
of spawning the editor itself, when '-e' is provided on the debcommit
commandline.
