searching for text in revisions

["de Jong, Wout" <Wo...@atosorigin.com>]

Hi,

Is it possible to search for certain pieces of code/text in revision-files in the repository? As only changes are stored (even for binaries), I think it's hard to have something like MS Indexing Service scan for certain pieces of code/text in all the versioned files. 

TIA.

I'm an svn newbie.

I searched the mailing list archive, but couldn't find anything useful.

Please reply to my address, as I'm not a member of this list.

Yes, use the libsvn_fs (svn_fs.h) API.  It presents the repository as a
filesystem, and gives you the ability to look at history as well.
