You just want to get a list of the files? That's easy:

  $ svn diff --summarize -c25007 http://svn.collab.net/repos/svn/trunk
  M [...]/trunk/subversion/include/svn_client.h
  M [...]/trunk/subversion/libsvn_client/prop_commands.c
  M [...]/trunk/subversion/tests/cmdline/prop_tests.py
  M [...]/trunk/subversion/svn/proplist-cmd.c
  $

If you want to get the contents of the files, yes, you'll need to do
some scripting, Subversion doesn't offer that feature directly.
