There's a small flaw in this feature when "git config --edit" is run
outside a Git repository. It launches $EDITOR but complains on saving
that the file does not exist (tried with emacsclient and vim). I think
it should check before if there's a repository around. "git config
--global --edit" works.

Otherwise this is a nice feature. :-)
