I have solved it. Of course, I'm not a Subversion developer so I've used an
external tool for that. As it is 100% free tool I think there is not problem
announcing it at this mailing list.

At the web site (http://www.svnflash.com), there is also a Live Demo
publishing the Apache's Subversion repository at real time, so everybody can
see how it works.
For example, you can compare the future 1.7 release (trunk?) with the latest
1.6.15 release (tag) of the Subversion project and get the revisions for any
changed path.
Tip: Right click on any revision to see available commands (view, compare,
blame, revision graph,...)
