Package: mercurial
Version: 0.9.4-1
Severity: normal

When a tool needs an editor, it is conventional to first examine
$VISUAL, then $EDITOR, then fall back on vi -- for example, bzr and
darcs behave this way.  In sh notation, this is expressed as

    "${VISUAL:-${EDITOR:-vi}}"

Mercurial appears to skip the first step, i.e.

    "${EDITOR:-vi}"

This is mildly irritating.
