I must recommend you do read the book. It's very thorough. There's
even an appendix for CVS converts.

There should not be silence; you should be informed what was
committed, and what the new revision number was. Since that didn't
happen, something went wrong during the commit. Maybe ssh was unable
to start the svnserve process. Is svnserve in the path that ssh knows
about?

I'm not certain, as I've never set up svn+ssh access myself. That's a
bit of a complicated setup to dive right into for your first attempt.
You might have better luck starting off with just plain svnserve and
the svn protocol, or no svnserve and the file protocol, while you're
learning the basics of Subversion.
