Mercurial, the helpful
Did a quick build fix checkin after a su - hudson a few minutes ago. The EDITOR and VISUAL environment vars were all of a sudden unset, so Mercurial decided to be helpful:
$ hg ci
Select an editor. To change later, run 'select-editor'.
1. /bin/ed
2. /bin/nano <---- easiest
3. /usr/bin/emacs22
4. /usr/bin/vim.tiny
Choose 1-4 [2]:
So, to all you Emacs, ed and Vim fanatics in the audience, Mercurial has spoken: Nano is the easiest.
Update: The editor selection is, as Stian rightly points out, performed by Ubuntu’s select-editor.
