Ahh I see.

Assuming the binary files don't have spaces or other weird characters in 
their names you could try doing something like the following.

svn diff | grep "Property changes on" | cut -d':' -f2 | xargs tar cjf 
binary_files.tar.bz2

That should grep the diff for a certain line that appears when you add a 
binary file to svn which reads:

Property changes on: test/test.jpg


Assuming you can type:

tar cjf new_archive.tar.bz2 path/to/files

(where c means create archive, j means bzip2 compress it and f means 
write this file).


If your tar doesn't work like that then this should work too:
svn diff | grep "Property changes on" | cut -d':' -f2 | xargs tar c | 
bzip2 >binary_files.tar.bz2


If you then supply both the diff (which will contain the changes in the 
existing files and the new text files) and the binary_files archive 
(that, obviously enough, will contain all the binary files).

I think this will please everyone :)


Hope that helps.
