Getting *just* the diffs from a repository

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1

Is there a way to get svn, or failing that, bdb, to dump just the diffs 
between two versions?  I want the actual diffs between files, not the 
differing files, in whatever format, but possibly in whatever form they're 
stored in the DB.

The reason why I'm asking is because I was thinking about how to do 
incremental backups of the database.  As I understand it, right now if you 
back up the DB you get a snapshot of the state of the DB, whole hog.  Anyway, 
that's my rational for asking for the diffs.
