It's not very common, but I've seen setups with git aliases that allow empty messages (or default messages). Another problem with :q! is that it only works when the buffer is empty or it has only commented out lines (it won't cancel the operation on amends with existing message, 1/

This generally works, but not in cases where empty messages are allowed

To prevent git from finishing the current commit/operation, your editor needs to exit with a non-zero status. In vim, you can use :cq to do that.
