@User:Tim Landscheidt: Thanks! Perhaps Help:Access or https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Git/Tutorial#Set_Up_SSH_Keys_in_Gerrit should say something like:
Be paranoid and check for the correct Help:SSH_Fingerprints/bastion.wmflabs.org when logging in for the first time. Currently nothing much links to the ssh fingerprint; I found it with google.
I see you're an emacs user, as am I. For some reason I can't identify, git commit insists on launching vim, not my usual editor, emacs; not solved w/ GIT_EDITOR=emacsclient or EDITOR=emacsclient (!). Any tips on why this is happening/what to do about it? --Elvey (talk) 07:43, 7 May 2014 (UTC)Reply
Oh, I just needed to export the environment variable. --Elvey (talk) 07:57, 7 May 2014 (UTC)Reply
I also have core.editor in ~/.gitconfig set to /usr/bin/emacs. --Tim Landscheidt (talk) 08:02, 7 May 2014 (UTC)Reply
