Please restore EDITOR=vi, otherwise the following message is going to
haunt me for the rest of time:
$ svn commit
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
are set, and no 'editor-cmd' run-time configuration option was found
I thought the historical default was that EDITOR should be ex, and
VISUAL vi. But again this is preference; others like emacs. So you're
really asking that the default for all users be set the way you like it,
instead of making your own choices and setting them. To me this is an
argument for not having these values set in global default files.
