The svndbadmin tool that comes with ViewVC (and is used for populating a
Bonsai-like database of commit metadata) performs calculations of this sort
by running 'diff' on each modified file in a revision (against its prior
state), grepping for the line-count headers in that diff output, and doing
arithmetic stuffs with it. This tool is written to be run as a post-commit
tool, at which time it populates the Bonsai-ish database with the info that
one recent commit.
Here's a link to the ViewVC view of that tool's source code:
