SVN Watchlists?

I know that you can get SVN for sending emails after commit using interceptors, but I'm just wondering if there is a way to create a personal "watch list", for example MediaWiki (Wikipedia), in which you receive a notification only if changes have occurred in specific files?

As we take care of this, we have the watch property, you add your email address to this property in any directory, and you will receive an email about any changes to or below this directory.

The way this is achieved behind the scenes is that a post commit script checks each directory for projects for each file in the commit, reading properties as it appears, from this it builds a list of email addresses to send a notification. It takes about a dozen lines of python.

SVN-Monitor has several monitoring parameters that can notify in different ways. You can filter certain events to trigger certain types of notifications.

One could develop a thing that works like a Subversion hook. We had a similar system configured to send CVS in one place, where I worked several years ago.

Subversion itself has no built-in features, but I suspect there is at least one add-on that does this.
