I just installed the latest Git for Windows.  During the installation
process it is possible to set up an editor.  Here follow the the
options:

1. Gnu Nano
2. Vim (the ubiquitous text editor) [default]

it seems the above are included in Git for Windows, for the following
there are links provided (supposedly when they are not found)

3. Notepad++
4. Visual Studio Code
5. Visual Studio Code Insiders
6. Sublime Text
7. Atom
8. VSCodium

And the final two programs are provided by the OS

9. Notepad (New)
10. Wordpad (New)

11. Select other editor as Git's editor

I find this quite astonishing that there is no mention of Emacs, all the
more because Linus is supposed to use µemacs a variant of it!  It seems
that the maintainers don't consider Emacs a "text editor"?
