You could do something like:
for ($i = firstRevIn07; ($i <= lastRevIn07); $i++)
{
system("svn checkout -r $i http://symfony-repo-path-here/trunk $i");
$count[$i] = stream_get_contents(popen("diff -r -c $i
/path/to/our/mystery/0.7.9/version | wc -l|"));
}
asort($count);
foreach ($count as $version => difference)
{
echo("The version with the smallest difference according to diff is
$version\n");
break;
}
This should work pretty well if the previous developers didn't do
something heinous like reformatting all of the text in all of the
source files.
