Because I always forget…to change the text editor that svn uses with the commit messages, just type in this command (if you use bash):
export SVN_EDITOR=vi
*Substitute vi for your editor of choice.
**Personally, I once was a pico/nano fan, then I moved to emacs, and now I am a vi person.

Do you frequently need to include a lengthy message? I practically always simply use the -m option to specify a message on the command line.

Thanks man. I searched a long time to know this setting.

Personally perfect when you use svn:externals or svn:ignore commande.
To set permanently on your ENV, with bash shell, add this line to your ~/.bachrc file:
export SVN_EDITOR=vim
🙂

Thanks!

Great! I knew this option had to be somewhere! Thanks!

If you use svn with cmd.exe on Windows you can do it in the similar way. Create a new Environment Variable and set it’s value for example to
notepad

Thanks, dude!
Also is a good idea to put this setting inside a initializer to your shell..
In case you are using Bash, that would be editing ~/.bashrc (or ~/.bash_profile) and putting this command there…
