I'm using the command-line SVN client on Linux. I typed svn commit which invoked vim to edit the commit notes. When I looked into the list of modified and added files I decided to cancel the commit. But how can I achieve that? Is it already too late?
Just quit the editor without saving, you will be asked to continue or cancel back on the command line.
Like this:
Log message unchanged or not specified
(a)bort, (c)ontinue, (e)dit:
If you've already saved the message, overwrite your message with the empty message, save again, and quit the editor. svn will then abort because of the empty message as well.
