It is more likely that this is about a legal discovery or license/code
review. Here then is a hint.

#1 Fetch the global verbose xml log with files of the root of the
repository or the path you want to examine:

  svn log -r1:HEAD --xml -v ^/

#2 XSLT over that to find logentry/paths/path nodes with relevant
actions (add, modified, moved here), kind (file) and, when modified, the
relevant modifications (text-mods="true"). The result will be a machine
readable list with path / revision coordinates/URLs. Depending on
whether you included branches this may even be unique in terms of content.

#3 Run that list through your favorite svn client or plain HTTP user
agent, as required and suitable. Use pat + peg revisions.

https://svn.example.com/svn/repo/path/file.txt?p=N
http://svnbook.red-bean.com/nightly/en/svn.serverconfig.httpd.html#svn.serverconfig.httpd.extra.browsing

#4 Run your scan as per your requirements.

You can adjust this to fit your (disk,process,scan) needs and resources.
