New submission from Josh Leeman <joshualeeman at hotmail.com>:
Mercurial version 1.9
Windows 7
With .hgrc "editor = vim", it is no longer possible to sensibly edit commit
comments. When committing from the console, hg seems to open vim (the
console icon changes from command prompt to vim), but the editor is not
visible from the console, meaning that you have to edit the comment 'blind'.
When editing is complete, the console reports "Vim: Warning: Output is not
to a terminal"
On hg version 1.7.5 it was possible to edit comments successfully using vim.
A workaround is .hgrc "editor = gvim", but this opens vim in a new window,
which is not quite as nice, as one is then in another window.
Thanks.
