Help is on the way in 1.7:

[[[
-bash-3.00$ svnlook help filesize
filesize: usage: svnlook filesize REPOS_PATH PATH_IN_REPOS

Print the size (in bytes) of the file located at PATH_IN_REPOS as
it is represented in the repository.

Valid options:
  -r [--revision] ARG : specify revision number ARG
  -t [--transaction] ARG : specify transaction name ARG
]]]

This can be used in pre/post-commit hooks to inspect the size of a file.
