For a powershell specific implementation of the answer from Michael Hackner, try something like:

svn ls http://svn-server/src --recursive | Out-File svn.txt

My particular use case here is finding a bunch of similarly named files (in this case *special.xml) and dumping them all into a single folder, with essentially unique names. I have used an intermediate file to store the entire repo listing, but this could all be inlined as well if that's better for you.
