Sure, you used it above. 'svnlook changed' will always return the path
(relative to the repository root) of the changed file.
However, what I think you are after, is the full URL (include repository
path) to that file. That is not possible for SVN to determine, as it does
not know *how* you are serving the repository (HTTP, HTTPS, svn+ssh, svn,
etc). $REPOS will give you the physical path to the repository, not
necessarily the publicly accessible path.
