I'm using the command-line SVN client on Linux. I typed svn commit which invoked vim to edit the commit notes. When I looked into the list of modified and added files I decided to cancel the commit. But how can I achieve that? Is it already too late?

To undo a specific revision you can use the following command: $ svn merge -c -r3745 . In case you have other edited files in working directory, you can commit only the relevant files. Please note that undoing actually will mean you create a new revision with the negatives changes of last commit.
Right click on the selected revision(s), then select Context Menu → Revert changes from this revision. Or if you want to make an earlier revision the new HEAD revision, right click on the selected revision, then select Context Menu → Revert to this revision.
By default, the log message property (svn:log) cannot be edited once it is committed. That is because changes to revision properties (of which svn:log is one) cause the property's previous value to be permanently discarded, and Subversion tries to prevent you from doing this accidentally.
Select any file and/or folders you want to commit, then TortoiseSVN → Commit.... The commit dialog will show you every changed file, including added, deleted and unversioned files. If you don't want a changed file to be committed, just uncheck that file.
If you do not supply a log message with your commit by using either the --file ( -F) or --message ( -m) option, svn will launch your editor for you to compose a commit message. See the editor-cmd list entry in the section called “General configuration”.
Commit a modification to the file foo.c (explicitly specified on the command line) with the commit message in a file named msg: $ svn commit -F msg foo.c Sending foo.c Transmitting file data .
If you want to cancel your commit, just quit your editor without saving your commit message and Subversion will prompt you to either abort the commit, continue with no message, or edit the message again. Commit a simple modification to a file with the commit message on the command line and an implicit target of your current directory ( “.”
The svn checkout command checks out a working copy from the repository. This command is sometimes shortened to svn co. The svn commit command sends your changes back to the SVN server. The svn add command will add a new file to the repository — but only after you've done a svn commit.
Just quit the editor without saving, you will be asked to continue or cancel back on the command line.
Like this:
Log message unchanged or not specified (a)bort, (c)ontinue, (e)dit: If you've already saved the message, overwrite your message with the empty message, save again, and quit the editor. svn will then abort because of the empty message as well.
