Well, there are times where one wants to differentiate two revision
number, even though the content has not changed.

And also because there are times where one wants to commit to have the
occasion to add a new revision comment.

I wouldn't expect svn to do that always though, only when the user
explicitly requires it by adding a flag, like it's possible to do in
CVS.
[ From time to time I'm surprised to see that SVN is sometimes less
efficient than CVS in some specific occasions. (I've other concerns,
but they'll better fit in another post) ].
