Search through repository

[Tomasz Pająk <sp...@o2.pl>]

Hello everybody, I've been asking in Tortoise users group about function  
"Search through repository" and they said, that I should ask about it here.
Because they're using SVN libraries to connect to the repository, they  
don't have possibility to make such a function.

So, is this possible to add it to your libraries?

Keep up the good work!

Best regards,
Tomasz Pajak

Searching how (or for what information) using the SVN tools?

Some ideas...

- Setup an HTTP browseable version of the repository, then index it 
using a web server search engine?  (There are probably web front-ends to 
SVN repositories that let you browse/search and do the indexing for you.)

- Do a daily/hourly export to a read-only network share that developers 
can search through.  We used this method with VSS (it also served as a 
snapshot of the current repository HEAD version and we backed it up 
along with the VSS database files).  That's assuming that your users are 
working from a large repository where they're not pulling everything 
down locally.
