You can do "git commit --dry-run", which produces the template on stdout. That should be good enough for our purposes here, as it's the same code that produces the text that goes into the editor template. If you really wanted to test what the editor sees, you could do something like: GIT_EDITOR='cat >editor-input' git commit but I don't think it's worth the trouble. -Peff
