Run 'svn update' after your commit. The log command defaults to
operate on the current working directory if you don't give it any
targets, and that directory is still on a previous revision, before
your commit, so you start at that older revision and go back, missing
the commit you just made. If you update that directory it'll show you
your commit.
See the docs on mixed revision working copies for details on how and
why this is done this way.
