In a case like that I'd almost certainly use TortoiseSVN. It lists all
the files that it will commit, and allows you to uncheck those which you
don't want to commit. (There are various convenient ways to select what
goes in that list in the first place, too.)
It sounds as though you're not using Windows, but I'd suggest taking a
look at a Windows machine running tsvn before writing your own script:
they've done a really good job on the user interface.
And if you *are* using Windows, then use TortoiseSVN, don't waste time
writing a script to do what it does.
