I agree. I found this quite unintuitive, even a hassle, when I learned darcs. Sometimes you don't have a $DISPLAY in Unix. Then some obscure 'default' editor comes up (this depends on system configuration and is not always appropriate to change, for instance when using shared accounts) which I don't even know how to exit from. I'd like to have a switch that just starts the command line editor. Would a patch be accepted that adds another switch to amend-record (e.g. --edit-name)? The idea is that this starts only the line editor, and presents the old patch name to be edited.
