CentOS - Jan 2010 - Automatically check into SVN?

I would like to automatically check in a directory to SVN, to maintain 
the changes that area made to those txt files over time. These files are 
configuration files, and it would be good to be able to revert back by 
simply checking out the older versions. But I would to check in the 
files every files minutes, and I'm sure SVN will not use up any disc 
space, unless there are any changes.

I already have an svn server up and running in production -- Any help?

You might get more luck in the users at subversion.apache.org ML.

Maybe you can have a cron job that check the status of the WC and if there are
any changes commits them. But you run the risk to commit changes while
you're still working on the files.

Why can't you manually commit the changes?

You could take a look at FSVS, its description appears similar to your 
situation:
