Not really an SQL question, in fact it is barely a PostgreSQL question
at all but I will try to give a pointer.
I don't know of any automated tools. I would suggest running a
cron script that dumps the database and then does an svn commit. If
there are no changes then the commit will do nothing. If there are
changes then svn will be updated.
Don't forget to pipe a log message into svn (-F or --file option) and
you may need to check for irrelevant changes in the dump before calling
svn.
