The manpage of `emacsclient` tells me to exit/finish a session via
`C-x #`.

But why? Also `C-x C-c` also works well. I do not see that this would
cause any problems. And it seams like that the server is still
running.

When you're using emacsclient as your editor, things like git will
open files with emacs and then wait for emacsclient to terminate to
continue. Running C-x # or `server-edit` kills the buffer EC created,
and terminates EC, which allows git or whatever invoked your editor to
continue.

`C-x C-c` does not close `emacsclient` ? I am confused.
