This means Subversion thinks the editor exited without changing the
svn-commit.tmp file, and it's letting you know that. Your choices are
to a)bort the commit, c)ontinue committing with the empty log
message, or try e)diting the log message again.

Subversion does not attempt to re-read the svn-commit.tmp file,
because it thinks the editor has already exited.

You probably can use gvim, you just need to ask the developers of
gvim how to start gvim in a way that it waits until the file is saved
and closed before returning to the shell.
As a matter of comparison, I use this small script as my editor script:
#!/bin/sh
edit +1 --wait --resume "$@"
This opens my GUI text editor (TextWrangler) and waits for me to
edit, save and close the file before resuming the shell process that
called it. Works great. Something similar must be possible with gvim.
Check the documentation.
