<h2>Description</h2>
<p>Send changes from your working copy to the repository.
If you do not supply a log message with your commit by
using either the <code class="option">--file</code>
(<code class="option">-F</code>) or <code class="option">--message</code>
(<code class="option">-m</code>) option,
<span class="command"><strong>svn</strong></span> will launch your editor for you
to compose a commit message. See the
<code class="literal">editor-cmd</code> list entry in <a class="xref" href="svn.advanced.confarea.html#svn.advanced.confarea.opts.config" title="Config">the section called “Config”</a>.</p>
<p><span class="command"><strong>svn commit</strong></span> will send any lock
tokens that it finds and will release locks on all
<em class="replaceable"><code>PATH</code></em>s committed (recursively)
unless <code class="option">--no-unlock</code> is passed.</p>

<p>If you begin a commit and Subversion launches your
editor to compose the commit message, you can still
abort without committing your changes. 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.</p>
