Take the 2-minute tour ×  When I make a new Git commit (git
commit) and it enters Vim, sometimes it happens that I make a
small typo when I want to save the commit-message-file. E.g. I
type :Wq instead of the usual :wq.  Vim reports an error then.
Then, when I correctly save the file and quit Vim, Git says that
Vim reported an error and it aborts the commit.  How can I avoid
that? I.e. how can I reset the Vim error state so that Git
doesn't think that Vim had an error?  share|improve this
