setting svn editor value
I am following the Pragmmatic Subversion book, it does not say how to set the environment for the
SVN EDITOR variable. I am on Mac OS. I don't have xemacs on my machine. Can someone please help
me? TIA.

1. By "root directory" I hope you mean "home directory", as in /Users/
<yourusername>
2. Is editor.sh executable? It needs to be. Make it so by doing this:
cd ~/scripts
chmod 755 editor.sh
3. Is the scripts directory in your path? I modified my path to put
it there, because I found this convenient. If you want to do that
too, you can add a line like this to your ~/.bash_profile:
export PATH=~/scripts:$PATH
Or if you don't want to modify your path, you can change the line
that exports the editor variable to use the absolute path to the script:
export EDITOR=/Users/<yourusername>/scripts/editor.sh

Thank you for the suggestion. I installed the TextWrangler. I created a scripts directory under my
root directory. I created a editor.sh with the two lines you had given. When I run the following
command, it is bombing out. Please help.
19:47:51:~/work/sesame > svn propedit svn:ignore timelib
sh: line 1: editor.sh: command not found
svn: system('editor.sh svn-prop.tmp') returned 32512

You don't need xemacs. xemacs is just a text editor; you can use any
you like. I use TextWrangler which is nice and free.
In the file ~/.bash_profile I have this line:
export EDITOR=editor.sh
editor.sh is a small shell script located somewhere within my path.
(On my system that's ~/scripts) The contents of the script is:
#!/bin/sh
edit +1 --wait --resume "$@"
"edit" opens TextWrangler. +1 tells it to hilite the first line of
the file. --wait tells edit to wait until I save and close the file
in TextWrangler before returning control to the script. --resume
means the Terminal should come to the front when I save and close the
document in TextWrangler. (These options are specific to
TextWrangler's edit command; if you want to use a different editor,
you'll need to consult that editor's documentation.)
