Correct, but subversion does not guarantee that the commit you make
is actually made on the revision in your sandbox. I can add an
'#include <yours.h>', and all tests work locally, while you
commit the removal of yours.h. I still can commit my change,
resulting in a broken revision without any indication - or way
to avoid that.

(That 'svn log' won't even show my own commit afterwards
(or yours before) is another one of svn's many idiosyncrasies.)
