Using Subversion I try to commit with:
svn ci dir/filename
And I get this:
svn: system('emacs svn-commit.tmp') returned 256
What does this mean? How can I to fix it?
When you try to commit something to Subversion, it needs a commit comment. Unless you pass a commit comment on the command line (using
-m message), Subversion will automatically launch your preferred editor. It appears that your editor is emacs, but there is a problem launching it.Either fix emacs, or set your
EDITORorSVN_EDITORenvironment variables to a different editor that actually works.
