Are there any plans for an svn find command?
Are there any plans for a way to do a search for filenames inside of a
repository? I like something similar to the unix find command, but for
the repository instead.
Thanks,
Robert Zeh

In that case, you'll need a recursive subroutine which does 'svn ls -v <root>'
and then follows into each directory in turn (using memory only for that
directory's contents.) The svn startup load would be troublesome, but what
about using the Perl bindings?

Oh that's nasty. I haven't run it on a real large repository yet. But I
noticed that there's a pause before output starts rolling. Let's hope
that 1.1 will be able to help you out.
For what it's worth, I tend to create more repositories as I used to
with CVS. I like to decouple the version numbers of stuff that's not
really related. Thus, I have quite a bunch of repositories, but none is
overly large in itself.

The script is a good idea. However, until svn ls is streaming, this
script won't work well with my repository. svn ls -R <root> on my
repository never finishes; my machine runs out of swap.

tukan:[kre]> cat svnfind
#! /bin/sh
target="$1"
shift
svn ls -R "$target" | egrep -e "$@"
tukan:[kre]>
will that do? Over the net it creates some overhead, but if your
repository is not far that's not a problem.

Would it be possible to place the find on the server side of things? My
limited
experience is that it's better to execute the query on the server and
stream the results back. Otherwise you end up sending more data over
the network then you have to. My experience is the network is the
bottleneck, but most of my experience is with financial systems, not
version control systems...

No plans that I've heard of. But the repository exports a filesystem
API, so it should be easy to write something like this. You could even
do it using the perl or python API bindings.
