	I don't have much of a problem saving my message to a different file 
to pull it back in after my correction.  That hasn't happened very 
frequently.

	It is a bit annoying to have to exit twice.  However, the most common 
case is you're ready to commit, you can type up a message and go.  IMO, 
the most common case should require the least effort.
