I'm not sure searching for xcode is a good idea.  Is xed specific to xcode?  In any case Darin Adler should probably review this since this was his request and it might be good for him to see where this code is anyway. :)  the python otherwise looked ok to me.

I think xed is specific to Xcode.

$ xed --help
Options:
     -x, --launch                       Just launch Xcode with a new untitled document, don't wait on stdin.
     -c, --create                       Create the files if they do not exist.
     -w, --wait                         Wait for file to be closed by Xcode.
     -l, --line <number>                Select line <number> after opening file.  Takes effect only on last file opened.
     -b, --background                   Leave Xcode as a background app after opening.
     -n, --no-reactivation              After edit with -w, do not re-activate the calling app.
     -h, --help                         Show this information.
     -v, --version                      Print version information.

Looks good to me.

I know Eric said that it may be good for Darin to look it over but I suspect he has plenty of time to do so by now -- especially given his prodigious review rate, and I'd like to shrink the review queue some. :)

I now regret asking for this!

EDITOR set to "xed --wait" gives me great results with webkit-patch.
CHANGE_LOG_EDIT_APPLICATION is still needed to give me good results with prepare-ChangeLog.

Yet if I have both set, then webkit-patch uses CHANGE_LOG_EDIT_APPLICATION instead of EDITOR. That's frustrating. Maybe we should just roll this out? Or maybe we should teach prepare-ChangeLog to use EDITOR? But in that script there is no real benefit to waiting. Any other suggestions?

[Adam Barth]

I'm happy to do whatever you'd prefer.  Sorry for causing trouble.  :(

I really appreciate you doing to the trouble of adding this.

I think it’s probably best to just roll it out again, because there’s probably no one except me who wants it, and setting EDITOR to "xed --launch --wait" is really good for people who want to use Xcode.

By the way, it does need to be “xed --launch --wait”, not just “xed --wait”.
