I tried:
export CVSEDITOR=/usr/bin/vi
(I also tried changing CVSEDITOR to EDITOR)

I still got:
"/tmp/cvsGyaqer" 13/476
cvs commit: warning: editor session failed

found this on google which I also tried:

cvs commit: warning: editor session failed
This means that the editor which cvs is using exits with a nonzero exit
status.
Some versions of vi will do this even when there was not a problem
editing the
file. If so, point the CVSEDITOR environment variable to a small script
such as:
#!/bin/sh
vi $*
exit 0

unfortunately, i got the same error:

cvs commit: warning: editor session failed

Please advise.
