when using "gits commit" without the -m flag a new editor window opens for each repository. Is there a way instead to make a commit message once and then the rest of the repositories use it ?
Well, I see where you are coming from, but I'm not sure it represents the principal of least surprise. What happens if you want to provide different commit messages? I think it would be better to take the first message and then provide it back using -F and then provide the -e flag to specifically ask it to be edited. In other words, to use the first message as a default—possibly also appending git status as comments.
I will certainly accept patches for this. It may get developed as well.
