I really want to get fuzzy-searching in some way... I'm not sure what you mean with 'fuzzy-searching', but do you know about the --search option for 'svn ls'? This was introduced in 1.10 (with server-side filtering if you have a 1.10 server, or client-side filtering if you have an older server) [1] So we can have commands like 'svn ls $URL --recursive --search "readme*"' which are executed efficiently on the server right now. Maybe the syntax for --search is a bit limited currently (simple glob patterns, cannot indicate case sensitivity, ...) so that could probably be improved. I would suggest that, if you want to extend the search possibilities for filenames, perhaps you can build on this existing --search functionality, and extend it, so that command invocations of 'svn ls' might benefit as well. And then have your TUI use the same ra calls for searching.

I like the idea, and might be able to offer some feedback here and there, but won't me much help beyond that, sorry. -- Johan
