Most of the changes you make are small and stupid and not worth committing.
I strongly disagree with that.
Subversion is a tool for working with changes, much like Address Book is a tool for working with addresses. It has numerous operations for those changes including reporting on what was changed, by who, when, and the reason they gave for the change. Of course, it can only help you with what it knows about, just like your Address Book.
The more you get into version control, the more you learn that those smaller changes are exactly what you want. You want to get it down to where each commit does just one thing, whether that's adding a new feature, fixing a bug, or just some copyediting. Subversion then becomes even more powerful because you can work with these changes individually.
