Simply setting the SVN_EDITOR variable to ‘mate’ does not get the job done. It opens TextMate when appropriate, but then when I save the message and exit, I’m prompted to continue, abort or try again. It seems like the buffer isn’t returned to the svn command for use.
You need to include a command line option in your SVN_EDITOR (or EDITOR) variable
export SVN_EDITOR=’mate -w’
This makes the svn command wait for the editor to close/release the file before continuing, which is where the process is getting mucked up now.
