Unable to add commit message using GUI Macvim

When I use git commit using mvim as editor, the usual COMMIT_MSG file opens up in a new MacVim window, but when I write and exit the message, git ignored the commit message.

This issue does not happen if I use terminal vim, so I think there is no problem with my vim configuration.

What should I do? I use iTerm running on zsh

After googling for a while, I found that the solution is to simply tell git run mvim in foreground mode.

git config --global core.editor "mvim -f"
