title: Aborting commit due to empty commit message
body: <p>As a newbie git user, when I try to commit my work with</p>
  
  <pre><code>git commit -a -v
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>and I enter a commit message in my editor, I close the file, and get this error:</p>
  
  <pre><code>Aborting commit due to empty commit message.
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I have read nearly all the topics addressing to this issue, changed editors, basically tried everything but nothing helps. What should I do?</p>
  
  <p>One thing I noticed, while trying the whole process with notepad++, the file couldn't be saved. </p>
  
  <p>A possible workaround is this:</p>
  
  <pre><code>git commit -am "SomeComment"
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>But by doing so I feel I am kind of nullifying the purpose of using git. I want to properly document my changes.</p>
