How about:

cat filenames.txt | xargs svn commit -m "Passed testing"

(if you wanted one commit containing all files) or

cat filenames.txt | xargs -n 1 svn commit -m "Passed testing"

(if you wanted one commit per file).

Paths containing spaces may not be handled properly by the above;
testing is advised.
