That seems doable. Alternatively, Tim Pope's fugitive is pretty great and you can write :Git commit and it does just that.

It could even overlay the terminal pane for the duration of the command with the buffer pane. So it'd look a lot like opening the second editor instance, except incorporated with the first editor's buffer list, registers, etc.
