Pls. define SVN_EDITOR as an environment variable
Your first attempt to use any svn command to alter the repository
will fail unless you've had the forethought to define SVN_EDITOR (or EDITOR
etc.).
Perhaps the installation procedure could be changed to define SVN_EDITOR as
notepad by default?
Thanks,
Chuck

What is wrong with .subversion/config:editor-cmd ?
If people could agree a reasonable default value for that
[which I doubt =) ], installer/make install could take care of that.
Or subversion could ask a default for that when it will be run the first
time. However, I don't see a point here, and I am just happy with
status quo, but as usual this doesn't proof anything.
BR, Jani

I kind of like to separate "install time" from "build time." Many
people are installikng using actual, like, installers, and don't have
the liberty to reconfigure and rebuild.

You can set SVN_CLIENT_EDITOR on Unix using
./configure --with-editor=/some/path

Rather than changing the installation procedure, it seems to me the
program itself should (in default of any environment variable) run a
platform-dependent default:
Windows: Notepad
Unix: vi
Macintosh OS X: TextEdit
Macintosh OS 9: SimpleText
The reason I say "not during installation" is that "installation"
doesn't always cover enough ground, as well as being even more
platform-dependent than the list above.
