Bug Description

(This comes from http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/452503.)

-8<-
With cvs or svn, when you want to cancel a commit when the editor is
already open, you can kill the editor (SIGTERM). This works in bzr
as well, but it prints out

bzr: ERROR: Could not start any editor.
Please specify one with:
 - $BZR_EDITOR
 - editor=/some/path in /home/pei/.bazaar/bazaar.conf
 - $VISUAL
 - $EDITOR

It could be a little smarter to distinguish the case between an editor
not being able to start and and editor exiting with a nonzero exit status.
