Hi Rob,
I had the same problem but with the java binding not the commandline client.
Meanwhile I learned how to extend the libsvn_client API and the
commandline client. The latter to make debugging easier.
If you are willing to do some C programming I can give you some pointers
on how to make the command line client do what you want.
Regards,
Dirk
