Binary search on the 0 to HEAD revision range is a possibility, but it's

Fisheye (a commercial product) does a brute-force extract/index of all
the filenames and content in all revs in a repo for quick searches.
I'm not sure if there is any equivalent open source program but this is
probably the right answer for anyone who needs to do that frequently.
Sorry, do you mean that we have to pay to cover the lack of functionality in
Subversion? And it should remain this way?
Yes, I would not expect fast indexed full-text searches across names and content
to ever be a part of the version control system itself. But the functionality
to find filename changes is there - just 'log -v' from the top.
There's a big problem here - whether a URL exists or not usually isn't
the right answer for things that have been deleted and replaced by
something else of the same name.
I strongly suspect that Ludwig had in mind that Subversion could track
revisions in which file has been changed in either way.
Then no way you could confuse between different files with same URL.
It does track that, but I don't think there is a convenient way to ask for it.
Or for the server itself to find it efficiently.
