Despite the discussion is a few weeks old now:
IIRC, it is part of Subversion's philosophy to consider diskspace cheap
at the client's side (which allows to do a diff without asking the
server). Thus, there is no alternative to a complete checkout of the
directories where you want to maintain changes. Maybe it is possible to
re-organize the directory structure, e.g. with a subdirectory "0" for
files 0 to 999, "1" for 1000 to 1999, and so on?

If the assumed new files all satisfy a certain shell-style regular
expression (e.g. "*.cfg"), you can simply use this RE in the add command:
svn add *.cfg
Subversion will yield warnings for files already versioned, but the
operation should succeed.
