Subversion doesn't show any changes and therefore there is nothing to commit. Even though I just changed a image file by adding a tag into its header.

The first indicator is the file's last-modified time. Because your
application changes the file, but doesn't change the date/time,
Subversion doesn't recognize the change.
Otherwise, Subversion would have to "deep-scan" all files (look at all
contents) to detect any changes to your working copy, as opposed to
looking for changed timestamps and only scanning those files which
have changed.
