Right,
As others have said, you cannot 'svn co' files,
you can only checkout directories.
The ability to export files exists, but to export
only modified files is not built in, either.
I've been trying to learn Bash scripting better
and wrote the following.
If you're on Windows, install Cygwin.
It may not be exactly what you
want, because it exports the files
instead of checking them out.
You have to do something like...
svn log --verbose -r 2345 | grep M > files.txt
...then something like... (vi svncomod.sh)
#!/bin/bash
FILE=$1
REPO=$2
while read line
do
for ARG in $line; do
F=${ARG}
if [ "$F" != M ]
then
echo ${REPO}${F}
svn export ${REPO}${F}
fi
done
done < ${FILE}
... then...
chmod +x svncomod.sh
...and finally...
svncomod.sh files.txt http://path-to/repo
