DESCRIPTION
       bk  editor  is used as a shortcut to edit a file whether or not it is a
       BitKeeper file.  If the file is under revision control, bk editor  will
       bk  edit  the file then exec the editor of choice on that file.  If the
       file is not under revision control, it will exec  the  editor  on  that
       file.

       The  $EDITOR  environment  variable  must  be set to the editor of your
       choice.

       bk editor can be used as follows:

           bk editor foo.c

       Another method is to set the $EDITOR environment variable and alias the
       editor  name  to  bk editor Using xemacs as an example, set $EDITOR and
       then alias:

           EDITOR=xemacs
           alias xemacs='bk editor'

       To open the file for editing:

           xemacs foo.c
