Re: I suspect I can get svn info to do this but ...

Well...

SVN log can do the trick. Remember you can use either the revision
number or the date of the revision. If you created a tag, a "svn log"
on that tag (with the --verbose and --stop-on-copy switches) will give
you the revision number and URL that tag is based upon.

The verbose flag will show you the names of the files committed. It
shouldn't be too difficult to pipe the output of an svn log and parse
the names of the changed files. In fact, I did this myself in both
Perl and PHP. You should be able to also use the SVN API to pull out
the information you want too.
