You can obviously get at the actual file changes by doing a diff between
the two tags (or in your case tag and trunk). More than that, you can
use 'svn log -r' to get at the changes committed to the trunk since
whatever revision you made the tag (which you have to get at via 'svn
log' on the tag). If you use both '-q -v' options to 'svn log' you will
get the changed path information for each revision, but not the
individual log messages themselves. It shouldn't be too hard to write a
quick script to grab the output from 'svn log -q -v -r ####' and produce
a nice sorted report related what files were changed when.

It's not that the imformation doesn't exist, it's just that is not
stored seperatedly in the repository (like in CVS) and needs to be
extracted when needed.
