Are you aware of the built-in svn list --search feature, which has been available since SVN 1.10.0? For example: $ svn list --depth=infinity --search svn.c ^/subversion/trunk subversion/svn/svn.c $ Also as of SVN 1.10 the server supports a special-purpose 'list' request to speed this up. In any case, the fastest way to search will likely be with a file:// URL, assuming you can get direct access to the repository for this purpose. Regards, Stefan
