My vi is terminal based. It popped up to enter a message for a newly added file hacks.mk. Vi didn't pop up to enter a log message for the updated files.

I get this xauth message because I enable X11Forwarding in ssh.conf. In an despairate attempt, I will disable it for now. Let's see what happens when I next commit some changes.

# alias CVSEDITOR
bash: alias: CVSEDITOR: not found
# echo $CVSEDITOR

It's not set, so EDITOR, e.g. vi, should be used.
