Is this the prompt you're seeing?
Log message unchanged or not specified
a)bort, c)ontinue, e)dit
Please don't be offended, but I'd like to clarify what I meant when I
said "Transcript, transcript, transcript":
If you had cut-and-pasted the actual prompt, instead of summarizing it
as "the svn prompt to abort/edit/continue" (no significant substring
of which appears in the Subversion source code), I wouldn't have had
to search around the sources and guess which prompt you were talking
about. I could have found it immediately.
A transcript means, literally, a transcript of your session with
Subversion -- the actual, character-by-character record of input and
output, not a summary :-). With a real transcript, we can often spot
the bug in one second. Without it, we may waste an arbitrary amount
of time guessing and flailing around.
Anyway, if you're seeing that prompt, it means somehow the message did
not get saved. I don't know what went wrong. It could be a problem
invoking the editor, or a bug in the editor, or a bug in Subversion's
path handling. It could also be that you're leaving this line:
--This line, and those below, will be ignored--
near the top of the file, which would result in an empty log message,
of course.
Unfortunately, I don't have a better guess than that right now, sorry.
If we knew the *exact* contents of the leftover log message, the exact
name of tmpfile the editor gets invoked on (and which is left over
after the commit), the exact question your editor asks you when it
prompts you to save, etc, we might be able to help.
In other words, concrete details, no more summaries :-).
Thanks,
-Karl
