Newbie having problem with transaction aborted

[Vineet Jain (gmail)]

I tried:

editor=vim -f
editor=vi -f

and am still getting the same error. I'm running ubuntu dapper in a vm on a
vista host. 

Here is the version of vi:

VIM - Vi IMproved 6.4 (2005 Oct 15, compiled May 23 2006 12:03:57)
Included patches: 1-6
Compiled by root at rothera.buildd
Compilation: gcc -c -I. -Iproto -DHAVE_CONFIG_H     -O2 -g -Wall
Linking: gcc   -L/usr/local/lib -o vim       -lncurses -lgpm

Thanks,

Vineet

You should use vim's -f option so the vim process doesn't fork and it's
able to return a meaningful return value to hg.

I use editor=gvim -f in my hgrc file.
