Answer 1

With access to the repo itself use (i.e on your svn host file sytem)

svnlook tree [path_to_repo] | grep [file_name]  

or to search all repos (if you have mulitple repos setup).

for i in \`ls [path_to_repos_dir]`; do echo $i; svnlook tree [path_to_repos_dir]/$i | grep -i [file_or_folder_name]; done 

the option --full-paths will give the full path in repo to the file (if found)

example:

for i in `ls /u01/svn-1.6.17/repos`; do echo $i; svnlook tree --full-paths /u01/svn- 1.6.17/repos/$i | grep -i somefile.txt; done

redirect output to a file if static copy is needed.
assumes using nix OS.
