To clarify, this bug isn't an issue of darcs ignoring $EDITOR,
$DARCS_EDITOR or $VISUAL, but rather an issue with nvi failing because its
stdin and stdout aren't pointing at a terminal. This is fixed in darcs
1.0.3, which is in sid and etch.
A workaround for 1.0.2 is to make DARCS_EDITOR point at
Package: darcs
Version: 1.0.2-1
Followup-For: Bug #305883
I have set $EDITOR, $DARCS_EDITOR, and $VISUAL to /usr/bin/vi,
which on my machine is a symlink to /etc/alternatives/vi,
which is a symlink to /usr/bin/nvi, yet darcs still fails to
edit a long comment. I have nano, but I don't have emac
