Problem committing due to EDITOR variable...

HEAD of SVN yields the following when I try to commit:

jerenkrantz@sylvester% echo $EDITOR
vim
jerenkrantz@sylvester% /pkg/svn-cvs/bin/svn commit

svn_error: #21115 : <No external editor available>
  Commit failed (details follow):

svn_error: #21115 : <No external editor available>
  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_error: #21115 : <No external editor available>
  Could not find an external text editor in the usual environment variables (searched SVN_EDITOR, EDITOR, VISUAL, in that order)

Whatever the deal is, it's broken.  I'll try to take a look at this
once I can commit Thom's changes.  -- justin

Oh no.  I forgot to export EDITOR.  Rookie mistake.  

Sorry for any trouble...  -- justin
