Trying to find an old file in my repositroy.

["Wadsworth, Eric (Contractor)" <wa...@fhu.disa.mil>]

Hi,

Somewhere, deep in the misty dark ages of my repository, there is a
particular file I'm trying to find. I'm sure it's been moved a dozen times.
What's the best way to find such a thing? Right now I'm checking out version
after version, looking for it.

Thanks! --- Eric

Repeated checkouts?!?!  Ahhh, stop that!  That's what 'svn log -v' is
for!

Brute force:  run 'svn log -v' on the root URL of your repository.  Save
the output.  Then grep for all deleted files ("D  /some/path").  If it
were me, I'd just do an incremental search in emacs.
