How about:
If you have already saved your commit message, simply delete the text and
save again.
Another option might be to explain the decision procedure used by the
cmdline client:
Subversion will use your commit message without prompting you for
confirmation if and only if all of the following conditions hold: the
editor exits successfully, the temporary file still exists, the temporary
file's size and/or timestamp changed, and the message (before the ignored
portion) contains non-whitespace characters. This means that you can
trigger the confirmation dialog in a variety of ways, including (but not
limited to) killing the editor, removing the temporary file, or saving the
file with an message containing only whitespace. Experiment with your
editor and operating system to determine which approach works best for
you.
