anyone know how to set the text editor in subversion to vi? i have tried to set an environment variable: SVN_EDITOR='vi' but it doesn't work. I get this error when i try to commit:
Quote:
$ svn ci
svn: Commit failed (details follow):
svn: Could not use external editor to fetch log message; consider setting the $SVN_EDITOR environment variable or using the --message (-m) or --file (-F) options
svn: None of the environment variables SVN_EDITOR, VISUAL or EDITOR is set, and no 'editor-cmd' run-time configuration option was found
