I am not aware of any other command as well. Probably best to script around
svn log.
If possible, you could try to get a post-commit hook that incrementally
creates this list of files after every commit. That is another option.
I suppose ftp is a requirement. If not, you could just do an rsync from an
updated working copy to update only the files that have changed.
