Wow! I was looking for a way to do what David was asking about and
overlooked this approach. Nice!

But do I really have to scroll all the log entries and select them to view
the changes between e.g. r1000 and r800?

I had another idea that could help, but was unable to find a command in
TortoiseSVN for that. What about diffing a changelist?

In command-line svn.exe I could add the items to diff to a changelist by
running `svn changelist CHANGELISTNAME filepath` and run `svn diff
--changelist CHANGELISTNAME --revision REVNUM`

Here is a PowerShell-flavored example that if ran against WC root will add
all *.txt files to a changelist and will run `svn diff` for all of them
against revision 26500:
[[[
dir -Include "*.txt" -Recurse |
% {svn changelist MyChangeList $_.FullName}

svn diff --cl MyChangeList -r 26500
]]]
