Answer 1

Try doing the "svn commit" from the command line:

svn commit -m "My message"
echo $?

The $? variable is the exit code of the last command in Bash. This exit code might give you more information if you search Google for "svn commit fails with exit code XXXX"

If using the Windows command line, the exit code is a little more difficult to obtain ( How do I get the application exit code from a Windows command line? )
