title: How to make Subversion (or any program) perform periodic commits?
body: <p>I want to configure my computer so that say every half an hour it automatically commits the program I am working on. I am using a svn repository so even if it was just a script that ran 'svn ci' every 30 min that would be okay. The problem is that I don't know how to do that.</p>
  
  <p>Could somebody please tell me, or direct me to something, that would let me get this periodic commit stuff working?</p>
  
  <p>Thanks in advance.</p>
  
  <p>EDIT: Sorry it appears that I have confused people as to why I would want to do this. The sole reason that I want to do this is because a lecturer of mine wants us to know how our code develops over time and I thought that it would be a great idea to use svn for this purpose. It does not matter if the latest commit works or not. It just has to show the changes I have made to the code over time.</p>
