:G commit -am "mymessage"

When I issue :Git push, its output is written outside of a window, with the common "Press Enter or type a command to continue" prompt following.

When I issue :Git commit -am "message", the output is captured into a new vim window. Is there a variant invocation that would dispatch its output more like :Git push does?

:!git commit -am "message" is an option, but it :Git is more useful because it takes into account the directory path of the file in the active buffer.

:Git commit does use the "Press ENTER" variant by default. It should only use the window version if you've done something like set pager.commit in your Git config.

Finally spent a minute to track this down a bit better.

Typing :Git commit ... works as described.
Recalling and running a Git commit ... from history via q: also works correctly.

Recalling/running a Git commit ... from history using fzf.vim's :History: causes the git command output to be placed in a new vim window.

Perhaps this is best resolved in fzf.vim; I've opened junegunn/fzf.vim#1346.

Other things that could cause an output window are :Git -p commit, :Git --pager commit, and :Git! commit. That last one in particular sounds like something that could be called accidentally via either FZF bug or user error.
