Commit Messages from External editor not recognized
Environment: svn 1.3.2, WinXP
I'm using Emacs as an external editor for svn.
When I commit a file (ie. svn commit ReadMe.tx) svn
immediatly responds with a message:
Log message unchanged or not specified
a)bort, c)ontinue, e)dit
as it opens Emacs. I enter a log message through
Emacs, save it, exit Emacs, and then I can respond
"continue" to the message svn generated. My log
message does not get entered into the repository.
What can I do to use the external editor?
Thanks,
Bruce

Tell emacs to not detach from the calling terminal, unfortunately I
don't know why.
svn expects that if the called editor exits the editing process is
finished, but emacs detaches itself and this looks like the editor
exited...
