New submission from A Chambers <achambers at warwicksoftware.co.uk>:
Hi,
I'm testing out darcs on cygwin but I've come across a couple of
problems. I think they're probably unrelated.
1) When recording a patch, darcs can't find the editor on my system
I'm not sure why. Here are some diagnostics.
$ echo $EDITOR
/usr/bin/vi
$
$ ls /usr/bin/vi
/usr/bin/vi
...so then I tried,
$ darcs record
hunk ./README 1
+
+
Shall I record this patch? (1/?) [ynWsfqadjkc], or ? for help: y
What is the patch name? rev_2
Do you want to add a long comment? [yn] y
realdarcs.exe: vi: runProcess: does not exist (No such file or
directory)
A workaround is to use the --logfile option
2) Notice in the "Shall I record ..." above that it doesn't know
how many patches there are going to be. On my Linux machine at
home this would say (1/1).
