Did the commit succeed? If not, no big deal. Just take the drive home and
commit again to the desktop repository.

If it did succeed, then you've some explaining to do. Subversion won't
likely let you commit changes (which are expressed as deltas against some
known base, complete with checksums to verify file contents, etc.) easily
into the wrong repository. Is it possible that your repository -- which you
thought lived on the desktop box -- actually rests on the same flash drive?
 What does 'svn info' in your working copy reveal about the Repository Root?
