Hi,
/usr/bin/sensible-editor tries to run a few editors in turn, but only
exits with the exit state given by that editor if it happens to be the
editor in the $VISUAL environment variable. Interesting information gets
lost this way, and it makes the exit state to be something one cannot
programmatically depend on, so I consider this a bug.
The following patch fixes this behaviour to always exit sensible-editor
with the exit state of the invoked editor.
