I'm using Subversion to checkin a file on OSX. I have my EDITOR variable configured to MacVim

My .profile includes:

export EDITOR=/Applications/MacVim/mvim

When I checkin with the -m option (svn ci somefile), MacVim gets launched but then Subversion immediately displays:

Log message unchanged or not specified
(a)bort, (c)ontinue, (e)dit:

It displays this before I get a chance to save my log message in MacVim.

Is there a way to get SVN to use MacVim as the log message editor?
