Title:
  git does not use sensible-editor when EDITOR not defined

Status in git package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed
Status in git-core package in Debian:
  Unknown

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: git-core

  git does not use sensible-editor as a fallback when $EDITOR is not
  defined, instead falling back on the system editor.  Git should try
  $EDITOR, sensible-editor, and then editor in that order instead of
  $EDITOR, editor as it does now.
