A possible solution would be to use changelists. You can group the files that you are changing into changelists, and then when you svn commit, you specify the changelist -- files not in the changelist are not affected.

create changelist
svn changelist math-fixes integer.c mathops.c

commit only files in changelist
svn ci -m "Fix a bug." --changelist math-fixes
