Hmm, I'm still not sure I understand. If I use select-editor to change the 
editor to vim, sensible-editor and crontab -e change the editor to vim. In your 
"screenshot" I do not see that nano is still selected. It is still marked as 
"easiest" and still the default choice if you press enter, but it does not show 
the current choice at all (check the file ~/.selected_editor if you are not 
sure what is currently selected). 
svn is a different issue, it is not using sensible-editor but the "editor" 
symlink (which by default links to joe). To change that link, run:
sudo update-alternatives --config editor
