I wanted this information (added and removed lines) as well, so I wrote
a script to calculate it as a post-commit hook and save the information
in a revprop. This works well, but:

* Counting the +/- lines of the svn diff output takes care of most cases, but
  files in deleted directories will not show up at all so they have to be
  counted explicitly.

* In svn diff, copies will count as additions, even if nothing was changed.
  It is also usually not very interesting, especially for whole-tree copies.
  I treat tags and branches specially using path name heuristics.

For bigger changes this can take quite some time.
Perhaps the svn client could do a better job, but it is not obvious how.

Script available on request. I could submit it to contrib/, but I'm not sure
it is clean or general enough.
