Metadata retrieval/deployment based on filters

I have a request for metadata retrieval. I would love to be able to retrieve a package.xml and metadata based on filters. For example, any metadata that has changed since the last modified date, by author, etc.

Use case is: Pull the changed metadata since the beginning of a sprint and deploy that to a target org. This would be much easier than trying to piece together all of the metadata changes manually and using the force.com migration ant scripts.

So, when retrieving metadata, provide a way to add filters. On retrieval, the package.xml should be updated to reflect the metadata pulled.
