No, but you can solve your real problem by searching the
output from "svn log -v url://repo/".

This doesn't help with searching for files that have been deleted,
whereas searching the log will find them.

I wrote a tool to help handle this.

http://svn.collab.net/repos/svn/trunk/contrib/client-side/svn_export_empty_files.py

It "exports" a directory tree of empty files.  So you can easily use find to 
find files with the name you are looking for.  In our setup, I use cron to keep 
the empty export directory up to date once a day.

The repository I was working with was too large to 'svn export', so I came up 
with this solution.

Blair
