We're confusing two unrelated features in this thread:

   1. The ability to edit the list of files in the commit group in the
      log message, so as to change what gets committed.

   2. The ability to cancel the commit from $SVN_EDITOR, because one
      realizes while writing the log message that one isn't ready to
      commmit.

(1) has never attracted enough support to get included in Subversion.

(2) is easy -- just exit your editor without saving, or with error,
and Subversion should prompt you to c)ontinue, a)bort, etc.
