Default comment edit is vi (Windows)
Created originally on Bitbucket by Anonymous
Whist trying to import a patch by using the import command on the repository menu. It generated the following error
abort: edit failed: vi exited with status 1
[command returned code 255 Mon Jul 09 00:19:17 2012]
I fixed this my adding
[ui]
editor = notepad
into the mericurial.ini file in my user docs & setting folder. Since tortoiseHg is aim at windows users which do have vi I think it would be a good idea to default to notepad and automatically add the reference to notepad when installing.
I was using version 2.4.2 on a windows XP machine
