SVN Repository Search [closed]

Answer 1

We use http://opensolaris.org/os/project/opengrok/

Answer 2

1. Create git-svn mirror of that repository.
2. Search for added or removed strings inside git: git log -S'my line of code' or the same in gitk

The advantage is that you can do many searches locally, without loading the server and network connection.

Answer 3

I do like TRAC - this plugin might be helpful for your task: http://trac-hacks.org/wiki/RepoSearchPlugin

Answer 4

Painfully slow (and crudely implemented) but a combination of svn log and svn cat works if you are searching the history of single files or small repositories:

svn log filetosearch |
    grep '^r' |
    cut -f1 -d' ' |
    xargs -i bash -c "echo '{}'; svn cat filetosearch -'{}'" 

will output each revision number where file changed and the file. You could always cat each revision into a different file and then grep for changes.

PS. Massive upvotes to anyone that shows me how to do this properly!

Answer 5

I started using this tool

http://www.supose.org/wiki/supose

It works fine just lacking a visual UI, but is fast and somewhat maintained

Answer 6

// Edit: Tool was already mentioned in another answer, so give all credits to Kuryaki.

Just found SupoSE which is a java based command line tool which scans a repository to create an index and afterwards is able to answer certain kinds of queries. We're still evaluating the tool but it looks promising. It's worth to mention that it makes a full index of all revisions including source code files and common office formats.
