I've redirected this to users@subversion.tigris.org, which is the
mailing list for questions like this...

Yes. Copy your working copy off the memory stick, get rid of the .svn
dirs, and then see what working files differ from the working copy on
your desktop machine. Those are the ones that changed (inspect the
changes to make sure, adjust as necessary).

If your .svn/text-base/* files survived intact, you can try comparing
your working files against them, too.

In other words, the most obvious approaches here should work.

Good luck,
