Answer 1

If you want to set default editor that will be used every time you run

svn commit

Try the following command in the shell:

export SVN_EDITOR=nano

This will set nano as the text editor for commit messages. From now on, when you call svn commit without the -m flag, nano will open. Upon closing nano, SVN will continue to commit.
