Thanks Max, that gets me part way there. To get the list of files that
would be diffed by:
        $ svn diff -r 2580:HEAD
I can run:
        $ svn log -v -r 2580:HEAD | grep -E "^ "

However, for a more complex diff, like between two tags:
        $ svn diff -r HEAD:HEAD --old file:///SVN/tags/ver1/foo --new
          file:///SVN/tags/ver2/foo
then how do I use "svn log", which only supports a single URL?

It looks like for now I will just use something like this:
        $ svn diff -r HEAD:HEAD --old file:///SVN/tags/ver1/foo --new
          file:///SVN/tags/ver2/foo | grep -E "^Index:"
which isn't terribly efficient and doesn't tell me whether the file was
added, removed, or modified. But, it should be enough for my immediate
needs.

I'll try to do that some time soon. In the meantime if anyone else has
input into this feature, please chime in!

Thanks,
