Hi Ram,
First of all I am new to SVN myself but seeing from the error message
it's clear that you need to set an environment variable called
"SVN_EDITOR" and point it to notepad or some other editor depending
upon your paltform.
I am on windows,so my settings are:

SVN_EDITOR C:\Windows\notepad.exe

Hope that helps
Thanks
Mick
