That should never happen. And to be honest, it never has before.

You can check that yourself:
- check out a fresh working copy. Are the files as they should be? Or is
the commit missing there too?
- Use the repository browser and open the files from there.

If you think about it, you might see that if Subversion really had such
a bug, then it would have been discovered a long time before it reached
1.0. So there must be something you did wrong or just don't quite
understand (misusing a feature?).

- Check where the commit went. Maybe the commit was done not on /trunk
but on a branch?
- What version(s) were you using? TSVN, Subversion versions.
- What protocol did you use? (http(s)://, svn://, svn+ssh://, file:///)
