I'm trying to understand how this tagging & diffing between 2 paths is
better/easier than just keeping your single file, and diffing
yesterday's date against HEAD. For example:
svn diff -r {2010-11-22}:HEAD /project/trunk/important_stuff
Use the --summarize switch to just list the paths that have been
modified, if that's all you're after.
If you're just using the file important_stuff to just keep a running
changelog, using svn log with the revision range (yesterday to HEAD)
applied to the trunk URL could also work, with a little extra
scripting & parsing; especially if you can create an XSL stylesheet to
apply to the output of svn log --xml
