Hi! I'm running 1.6.13 on Windows, and I can confirm that the temp file is created one level up relatve to the current directory (unless I am in the top level dir of the WC: then the temp file is created in that dir).
For me, SVN is able to read te temp file at the place where it was put and edited. Reproduction script: svn mkdir 1/a svn ci -m '' cd 1/a svn mkdir x svn ci --editor-cmd vi ... leave the vi open, and open another window; there: cd 1 # one level up ls -l gives: drwxr-xr-x+ 1 Test2 Kein 0 05.02.2011 18.13 .svn/ drwxr-xr-x+ 1 Test2 Kein 0 05.02.2011 18.13 a/ -rwxr-xr-x+ 1 Test2 Kein 69 05.02.2011 18.13 svn-commit.tmp ls -l a # no temp file in directory a: drwxr-xr-x+ 1 Test2 Kein 0 05.02.2011 18.13 .svn/ drwxr-xr-x+ 1 Test2 Kein 0 05.02.2011 18.13 x/ Ryan: Hope that helps.
