For that to work, you'll need the 'wait' versions of the remote flags. Those are still being worked on in a PR, but I'm hoping to finish them up by the next release: https://github.com/neovim/neovim/pull/17856

That said, this sort of remote opening has been possible in Neovim since the client-server stuff was added in the early days. This is only adding the remote editing flags and implementation to Neovim itself to make it easier.

Neovim-remote(https://github.com/mhinz/neovim-remote#typical-use-cases) is an outside-of-Neovim way to do it with the Python client. It has an $EDITOR setting listed there. Or if you don't want to use Python, you can use invim(https://github.com/groves/invim#to-use-as-your-git-commit-me...). It's just a shell script. Or you can wait for the next release!
