Checking out only files that changed

Hi

Please could someone give me some insight as to how to go about getting
only the files that changed on a particular revision? I know I could do
some perl (or otherwise) scripting using the svn log command and
grabbing the files specified by the return. The downside of this is that
I don't really want to have all the company users of this repository to
have to install support for the scripting language as well as svn. Can I
do anything server side to add support for a "special" check out
command? Has anyone solved this problem before that could save me some
time?

I have seen a few posts on this subject before but didn't see any
resolutions. Please note that I am well aware that I am probably using
SVN in a fashion that is not its primary purpose but given the
application it is imperative that I be able to get only those files that
changed. The main problem here is that a single repository contains 100s
of projects (or subprojects) and is used to transfer control of a
particular project between various departments in the organization.
These departments are primarily development, testing and deployment. So
the repository will contain mostly binary files (exe, sql files etc). A
separate repository(s) is currently being used to store the source code
etc. Note that a full blown configuration tool utility would be overkill
and bloated for what I am trying to keep as a very easy and simple
process.

Thanks in advance
Geoff
