'svn export' produces a tree with zero metadata. Without the .svn/
dirs, there's no way for it to know what revision the tree represents,
or what it needs.

I suppose we *could* write a new switch for the export command which
takes a revision range X:Y. (It could simulate an update under the hood
-- tell the server it has a working copy of rX, and ask to be updated to
rY.)

Correct. The answer is "no", and the answer is also, "if you can't have
a live working copy on the production machine and run 'svn update', then
use a tool like rsync."
