svn diff --summarize OLDTAG NEWTAG will list all files that differ
between the two tags. Probably best to use the repository URLs for
both tags.

svn diff --summarize -r<REVNUM> will give you a listing of all items
changed in the given revision and the nature of the change (add,
modify, etc.).

--summarize was added in 1.5 I think, but it's probably a safe
assumption that if you're switching to SVN today, you're using a more
recent release.
