gnuserv/gnuclient as CVS/SVN editor on Windows

[John J. Lee]

I'm trying to persuade gnuclient (the one from wyrdrune.com) and svn
to play together on Windows XP.  I'd like to use emacs to edit commit
messages.  gnuclient works fine for me for editing disk files.  I want
to edit commit messages by just typing svn commit.  So:

1. From cmd.exe shell, I do

> svn commit

2. Emacs frame pops up with the expected commit information in a new
   buffer, apparently visiting a temporary file that svn created.

3. C-x # gives me the following message in the minibuffer, rather than
   notifying svn that I've finished editing the commit message, as
   hoped:

(server-edit): Use only on buffers created by external programs


I guess this is because gnuclient has already exited?  Extensive
googling hasn't turned up any docs that explain how to do this.

Anybody have any idea how to get emacs(client) to notify svn that
you've finished editing the commit message?

Thanks for any help
