don't invoke editor when not on tty?

[Lalo Martins]

And so says Martin Pool on 26/07/05 05:32...

I wouldn't be very happy about that, as my EDITOR is set to 'gnuclient'
when I'm running X. So if I run bzr from inside emacs, I'd expect it to
do the right thing.

I would just document the issue.  It's really up to the users to have
their EDITOR variable pointing to something that makes sense.

best,
