I'd generally update regularly, more than once a day even. However, when
I'm in the middle of working on something, I don't want other people's
changes to come in, so I defer updating. Before committing though, I
must make sure that my changes don't conflict, so I have to update
first, then test again, then commit.
That said, committing at the end of a work day (I'm not sure if that is
what you meant) is a bad idea, as it conveys zero useful information. If
you are concerned about data loss, then you need a backup solution in
addition.
Committing blindly might even commit half-complete changes. Instead, if
you have completed a change, commit that. Don't accumulate changes for a
day (let alone longer!) and don't commit unrelated changes in one
checkin. This makes it clearer to you and others what you did and why,
and it makes it possible to pinpoint when something broke to a single
revision. If you check in every evening, there might be a lot of changes
to hunt bugs in. There might even be changes that cause the whole thing
to break because they are incomplete, so two revisions where things are
in a sane state might be more than one day away from each other.
