RE: how to compare an exported file (or set of files) against the repository?

Unless you exported multiple revisions, you shouldn't need more than a few positive matches to determine the revision.

First, compare the tree structure against the repository. You'll want to avoid researching moved files, and this will help you narrow down your search.

Second, 'svn export' seems to preserve timestamps on the exported files. You can check 'svn log' for a matching timestamp for that file.

Then once you have enough fingerprints to id the export revision, you can do a generic tree comparison to find changed and/or moved files.
