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.
I was not. Very nice, particularly the pattern matching. Can I determine
the server version remotely to see if this is supported? (Alas, I don't
have direct access.) Is the globbing done on the server with the 1.10
support? That would make it as fast as direct access.
