In my post-commit script, I use

   PROJECT=`svnlook dirs-changed $REPOS -r $REV 2>&1 | sort -u | head -1 | sed -e 's/\/$//'`

So it looks like you could use 'svnlook' to do this.

   svnlook changed /path/to/repos -r ####

But it doesn't appear to support URLs, so you'd have to do this on the
same host (and possibly user) as the subversion repository.

A post-commit script is the ideal place to do that. See the example
in REPOS/hooks/post-commit.tmpl
