In fact ... you are right. I'm already working on my private branch and
then, I can commit without any problems.

More generally this issue can always be solved by using branches.

But sometimes you won't create a private branch for ridiculous reasons
(here, I commented 2 lines in a .htaccess file beacause my local apache
do not provide a module).
I know Subversion manage very well branches with cheap copies, etc. But
in my case, If I'm working on trunk, I won't create a branch just for 2
lines (because I have to merge to retreive modifications made by other
users, etc.).

I'm not very clear :)

Sometimes branches are not the best solution.
