Question

Why the hell would I suddenly be getting this svn error when I try to import files into my repo? What does it even have to do with notepad++?

Thanks 🙂

C:\xampp\htdocs\projects\lab>svn
import c:/wordpress

svn is trying to open your default editor to let you enter a commit message, and fails. I have no idea how to alter the default editor in Windows (in linux it would be something like export EDITOR=/path/to/editor.

Until someone explains how to alter your default editor, you can circumvent this temporarily by either entering the comment directly with -m'Comment', or providing --editor-cmd
