Such a feature would really need to be implemented at the SVN library
level to be "done right" (and I'm not sure it's a common enough
scenario to be included in the libraries).

TSVN could parse the directory and only update specific files, but on
large directories this could be time-consuming and additional server
overhead, vs. just updating the directory itself.
