[darcs-devel] [issue242] Long comments (Windows)

[Giorgos Fourtounis]

New submission from Giorgos Fourtounis <gfour at softlab.ntua.gr>:

Hello,

Congratulations for Darcs, it is very useful and stable. I am using it 
on Windows XP and it fails to launch an external editor for long comments:

Do you want to add a long comment? [yn]
darcs: vi: runProcess: does not exist (No such file or directory)

Sometimes it leaves a lock file (_darcs/lock) behind that has to be 
removed for darcs to run again.
Setting DARCS_EDITOR or changing shell (MSYS/cmd.exe) doesn't seem to 
correct the problem.

I am using the latest Darcs .exe build (1.08):
$ darcs --exact-version
darcs compiled on Jun 16 2006, at 13:00:32
# configured Fri Jun 16 12:59:52 USMST 2006
./configure --disable-mmap

Context:

[TAG 1.0.8

Thank you
