RE: Successful edit status returned too soon

Hi Daniel,

sounds like svn is trying to kick of an editor to get your import comment
but that the editor process is returning after a suspiciouly short amount of
time.

Try adding a comment directly to the import command

      % svn import Franz svn://10.0.0.8/Franz -m "Initial Import"

If that works then you'll have to tell svn about your favourite editor. Try
setting the EDITOR env var to 'vi' or 'emacs' or whatever. Or set up the
editor in your subversion configuration (~/.subversion I guess - I'm using
subversion on widows just to try it out)

Also I see you are importing stuff into a remote repository. Unless you know
for certain the repoistory/svnserver is working and you are only
experimenting with svn you might consider using a local file:/// repository
- less to go wrong that way!

Good Luck,

Subject: Successful edit status returned too soon

I'm still trying to import my first project into subversion, but I get
the error:
     svn: Successful edit status returned too soon
and nothing is imported.

Here's the output:

     % svn import Franz svn://10.0.0.8/Franz
     Adding Franz/trunk
     Adding Franz/trunk/Source
     Adding Franz/trunk/Source/main.m
     Adding Franz/trunk/Source/Franz_Prefix.pch
     svn: Successful edit status returned too soon
     svn: Your commit message was left in a temporary file:
     svn: 'svn-commit.tmp'

What am I doing wrong here? What is svn complaining about?

Server is NetBSD, client is Darwin, both running Subversion 1.1.3
(r12730).
