sage --dev commit keeps using nano!

[Dima Pasechnik]

while
$ sage --git var GIT_EDITOR
vim
and
$ git var GIT_EDITOR
vim
(and vim is not an alias to nano)
I still get
sage --dev commit
popping nano for me...

Any clues why?
(This is on Debian 7, in case...)

Thanks
Dima

Hmmmmm... Weird. Is EDITOR also set to vim ?

it's not set.
Also,
sage --git commit
and
git commit
behave just fine.
So this is a 'sage --dev' "feature", but I can't seem to find
the place in the code where this happens...

The dev script uses EDITOR, if it is not set it uses nano.

In fact, setting EDITOR to vim makes it work
as it should. But this is insane - git behaviour should be
controlled by git settings, not but some irrelevant variable...

EDITOR is a system level setting. Everything should first look at EDITOR
and then look at individual application setting.

basu.

[P Purkayastha]

Sorry, I meant the other way round. If the setting is not specified in
the individual application, then it should look at EDITOR. In case of
Sage, it should just look at EDITOR (there is no way to set an editor in
Sage as far as I know).

Git tries first the environment variable GIT_EDITOR.

Where does point your /usr/bin/editor ?
